coulee

I wormed and twisted around until I got up to that coulee, and sure enough, it was what I thought.

There were some pools of water standing in a coulee, at whose head grew a clump of wild plum trees and other straggly growth.

We realized at last that it was a solitary buffalo bull, no doubt coming down to water at a little coulee just beyond us.

Standing in the shade of the coulee wall, he undressed deliberately, folding each garment methodically as he took it off.

The coulee wound aimlessly, with precipitous sides that he could not climb, even by leading his horse.
