I was a bit frustrated about not finding more horses, and I heard it was possible to see them easily at the BLM\u2019s Rock Springs Wild Horse Holding Facility, so I headed there. When I arrived at the facility I was very sorry I came. It was so sad to see the horses (and burros) all fenced into a small area of corrals surrounded by another double set of fences topped with barbed wire (it looked almost like a concentration camp for horses, though I know they are well fed and cared for and hopefully will be adopted or transferred to a reserve). I left the Holding Facility quickly and went back out into the desert to the Boar\u2019s Tusk rock formation and towards the sand dunes wilderness area later in the day, but the wind was still gusting and it was not a good day to hike or explore on foot at all\u2026<\/p>\" style=\"\"><div class=\"cbp-caption-defaultWrap\"><img src=\"\/\/www.usnomadstudio.com\/theroadbook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/SW-return_Apr-May2021_0508-WY-RedDesert_BoarTusk-roadleadingtoformation_IMG_4989_1200w.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/div><div class=\"cbp-caption-activeWrap\"><div class=\"cbp-l-caption-alignCenter\"><div class=\"cbp-l-caption-body\"><div class=\"cbp-l-caption-title\">Day 92: WY - Red Desert<\/div><div class=\"cbp-l-caption-desc\">Pilot Butte Wild Horses and Boars Tusk...<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><div class=\"cbp-item logo\"><a href=\"\/\/www.usnomadstudio.com\/theroadbook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/SW-return_Apr-May2021_0509-WY-RedDesert_KillpeckerDunes-Jeepontopofbigdune_IMG_5403_1200w.jpg\" class=\"cbp-caption cbp-lightbox\" data-title=\"<p><strong>DAY 93:<\/strong> The cold and wind continued today, but I decided to go for a hike anyway. I drove to the White Mountain Petroglyph site, and then set out on foot, wandering along the eroded rock face examining the etchings from various angles. These petroglyphs are radically different stylistically from the ones I am familiar with in Nevada, Utah and Arizona, and it seems clear that the artists were from very different cultures. There was also something else I had never seen before\u2014handprints worn into the rock. I don\u2019t mean the decorative painting using handprints that I have seen in other places, I mean literally it looked like thousands of hands over time touched the rock in the same spot and made a deep impression, the same way we make ruts in the sandstone when so many Jeeps run the same exact line on a slick rock trail. It was eerie, and I, too, touched the spot as I climbed up on the ledge, feeling like it was some kind of gesture of communion with the ancient ones across the centuries. The hike left me in good spirits and I headed over to the Killpecker Sand Dunes OHV area. The dunes were deserted even though it was a Saturday. These dunes are very tall and long, and I explored carefully, not wanting to stray too far from the main staging area because I was completely alone. Though supposedly it is a larger dune field than Glamis (according to the published info), it didn\u2019t feel like a massive sea of sand in the way the crescent dune fields do. It seemed more like a long sand highway on a very high ridge than a place to \u201csurf the dunes\u201d in arcing curves, and the whole feeling of the landscape was different. There were even some pools of water at the bottom of one of the massive walls of sand. It was interesting to see there were such variations on dune fields \u2026<\/p>\" style=\"\"><div class=\"cbp-caption-defaultWrap\"><img src=\"\/\/www.usnomadstudio.com\/theroadbook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/SW-return_Apr-May2021_0509-WY-RedDesert_KillpeckerDunes-Jeepontopofbigdune_IMG_5403_1200w.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/div><div class=\"cbp-caption-activeWrap\"><div class=\"cbp-l-caption-alignCenter\"><div class=\"cbp-l-caption-body\"><div class=\"cbp-l-caption-title\">Day 93: WY - Red Desert<\/div><div class=\"cbp-l-caption-desc\">Sand dunes and petroglyphs...<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/a><\/div><div class=\"cbp-item logo\"><a href=\"\/\/www.usnomadstudio.com\/theroadbook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/SW-return_Apr-May2021_0509-WY-Vedauwoo_rockformationsinlandscape_IMG_5614_1200w.jpg\" class=\"cbp-caption cbp-lightbox\" data-title=\"<p><strong>DAY 94:<\/strong> The weather was still bad and the forecast said there was a big snowstorm on the way, even though we are in May, so I decided to leave the Red Desert and make progress further east.

The area around Vedauwoo has a unique landscape of eroded boulders and rock formations that remind me of \u201cBedrock\u201d (from the old Flintstone cartoons). It is really quite different than other places, and there are some interesting Jeep trails and hikes there that I wanted to check out, but the snow caught up with me as I arrived. It was just beginning to fall in big wet flakes and with the forecasted storm, camping wasn\u2019t really an option \u2014 even with the Mr. Buddy tent heater. In any case the decision was made for me, because Vedauwoo was \u201cclosed\u201d until the end of the month according to a sign posted on the locked gate. I took a short walk along the fence to make some photos but it was cold and wet and a good idea to get as far ahead of the storm as possible.

In 2018, the Bureau of Land Management Grand Junction Field Office officially opened the Tabeguache Connector Trail which allows motorized vehicles to follow the Tabeguache Trail from the Bangs Canyon trailhead near Grand Junction to Montrose, Colo. The 4&#215;4 version of the trail bypasses any sections of single-track, allowing 4WD vehicles an opportunity to run this beautiful route. The area of Colorado on the Uncompahgre Plateau, was originally inhibited by the Tabeguache Utes, who were nomadic, moving from camp to camp to exploit nearby food sources. The modern spelling is from a word coined by the explorer Escalante in 1776, meaning \u201cplace where the snow melts first\u201d. Over the last 100 years, the Uncompahgre Plateau has been the scene of vast cattle grazing, sheepherding, mining &amp; lumber ventures.

There are hundreds of archaeological sites within the district, mostly deriving from the prehistoric Fremont Culture (prior to 1300 AD) and the historic Ute (1300-1881 AD) occupations of the Douglas Creek canyon. The rock art sites stretch along the highway, and consist of the South Orientation site and 8 other developed and partially developed sites and interpretive exhibits.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Flaming Gorge&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1624809615198-762427d3-278e&#8221;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;13639&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1624742417231{padding-right: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;padding-left: 10px !important;}&#8221;]<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fs.usda.gov\/detail\/ashley\/specialplaces\/?cid=stelprdb5212203\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Flaming Gorge<\/span><\/a> was named by John Wesley Powell in 1869 after he and his men saw the sun reflecting off of the red rocks at the start of their daring exploration of the Green and Colorado Rivers. Today the steep-narrow gorge on the Green River contains the Flaming Gorge Reservoir, the largest reservoir in Wyoming. The Flaming Gorge Dam was built in 1964, and the reservoir straddles the Utah-Wyoming border, with the larger part on the Wyoming side. The foundation of the reservoir is a steep-sided narrow canyon composed of siliceous sandstone and hard quartzites inter-bedded with softer shales, siltstones, and argillites.

Among the natural features in the Red Desert region are the Great Divide Basin, a unique drainage basin formed by a division in the Continental Divide, and the Killpecker Sand Dunes, the largest living dune system in the United States. Scientists trace the story of human presence in the Red Desert back 12,000 years. Evidence of early human inhabitants is seen in rock art found at the Boars Tusk, East Flaming Gorge, and Seedskadee areas. Other pre-historic evidence include Native American artifacts estimated to be more than 10,000 years old found in the Killpecker Sand Dunes, often in company with bison bones. The Red Desert region served as a marketplace and crossroads of interaction between nomadic Plains Indians, including Blackfeet, Crows, and Shoshone into the historical period. In the 19th century, the Oregon, California and Mormon Trails crossed the Continental Divide at South Pass, just north of the Red Desert. Generations of American families left their mark upon the desert as they migrated westward along emigrant trails. The majority of the Red Desert is public land managed by the Rock Springs and Rawlins field offices of the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The region is rich in oil, natural gas, uranium, and coal. An estimated 84% of the Red Desert has been \u201cindustrialized\u201d by oil and gas drilling or by mining operations and associated roads. Nearly three-quarters of the area is covered by sagebrush grassland. Home to the largest unfenced area in the continental United States, the Red Desert supports an abundance of wildlife, despite its scarcity of water and vegetation. The largest migratory herd of pronghorn in the lower 48 states and a rare desert elk herd, said to be the world\u2019s largest, live in the desert. Herds of feral horses roam the area in large numbers.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_tabs][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1610299121889{margin-top: 15px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;slideInLeft&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">KEY LOCATIONS: Red Desert Area<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1610296030586{margin-top: 15px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_tta_tabs][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Pilot Butte&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1624809596101-c853b147-b51c&#8221;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;13645&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1624743347158{padding-right: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;padding-left: 10px !important;}&#8221;]<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tourwyoming.com\/explore\/sightseeing-and-attractions\/pilot-butte-wild-horses\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Pilot Butte<\/span><\/a> is located directly on top of White Mountain, and was named by early travelers in the region as a signal that they were close to the Green River.

The unique formation is all that remains of the long extinct volcano associated with the Leucite Hills to the east. Heavily eroded, it is part of the volcanic neck which is composed of the uncommon rock lamproite. The lamporite of Boar&#8217;s Tusk dates back 2.5 million years. Boar\u2019s Tusk is the most prominent feature within a sacred cultural landscape of importance to Native American Tribes. The archaeological record of the area includes a number of rock art sites, several important Paleoindian sites, the Eden-Farson site which is a Late Prehistoric\/Protohistoric campsite associated with a large pronghorn processing area, and a historic (and perhaps older) Indian trail network. A high-clearance four-wheel drive vehicle is recommended for the deeply rutted, very sandy two track that runs up to the base of the tusk. A hiking trail circles the tusk and a steep route climbs the base.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;White Mountain Petroglyphs&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1624809596604-ee11699c-1c12&#8243;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;13641&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1624742604784{padding-right: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;padding-left: 10px !important;}&#8221;]The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wyohistory.org\/encyclopedia\/white-mountain-petroglyphs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">White Mountain Petroglyphs<\/span><\/a> site contains hundreds of carved figures that\u00a0 range from 200 to 1000 years old.

The petroglyphs also include drawings of horses and riders with feather headdresses, teepees and several kinds of human figures. Contemporary Native American spiritual leaders believe these drawings were created for religious purposes and should be treated accordingly. Somewhat unique to this site are handprints worn into the rock as well, providing visitors with a compelling connection to those who used the site long ago. Some theorize that this area may have been a birthing place for the Plains and Great Basin native American people based on several of the drawings that depict animals within animals. It is possible that the handholds worn in the stone may have served for generations of women to grip the rock during labor.

The sprawling dunes may seem out of place in Wyoming, but the dune field exists here because a gap between southwestern Wyoming&#8217;s Leucite Hills funnels the prevailing westerly winds which become strong enough to carry sand and gravel. As the winds blow through the Leucite Hills, the sand collects in large dunes can that reach heights of over 100 feet and run for over 100 miles from west to east. Boar&#8217;s Tusk, the core of an ancient volcano, rises straight out of the ground and seemingly guards the shifting sand, windblown into waves and ripples and huge swells like a beach in search of a sea. Between the dunes are basins of grasses and occasional pools of snowmelt. The western portion of the dune field is managed as wilderness. The eastern portion is the \u201copen play area.\u201d The designated OHV area includes 11,000 acres that run the gamut from the smaller dunes to mammoth dunes that reach 100 feet high. The dunes are named after Killpecker Creek, the drainage that flows south from the dunes to Rock Springs. Legend tells of soldiers assigned to protect the Overland Stage station in the 1860s who drank the salty water of the creek, then called the Kilpatrick. When they discovered their virility had been compromised, they renamed it Kill Pecker creek.

The ancient rock formations, created by ice, wind and water, seem to defy gravity rising up to 500 feet in the air. The Native Americans named this area Vedauwoo, which means &#8220;Land of the Earthborn Spirits.&#8221; Local legend says the rocks were piled up by playful spirits and later the many nooks and crannies served as hideouts for western outlaws evading capture. These same rocks now offer sanctuary for outdoor enthusiasts. Vedauwoo is considered one of the best places to rock climb in Wyoming, and there are many places to practice crack climbs. The 1.4 billion year old Sherman granite rocks are made of pink feldspar, white quartz, black specs of horneblende and other minerals such as mica. The hoodoos and outcrops represent some of the oldest rock in Wyoming, and are exposed at the surface around Vedauwoo due to the uplift of the Laramie Mountains that began around 70 million years ago. Younger layers of rock and sediment have progressively eroded, and this continues today. The hard granite is more erosion-resistant, resulting in the wind and water-sculpted forms. At an altitude of 8,200 feet, the views from the top of these formations overlook dense pine directly below and endless plains under the wide open Wyoming skies. It is a place of profound beauty. There are many hiking trails in the area and the Turtle Rock trail starts directly from the 28-site campground and winds its way between multiple rock formations while passing meadows, streams, beaver ponds and forested areas. In addition to the campground, there are 97 designated dispersed campsites tucked back on Forest Service Road 700.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;Neal Smith NWR&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1624743421884-1cbac411-6379&#8243;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;13658&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1624803937218{padding-right: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;padding-left: 10px !important;}&#8221;]The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fws.gov\/refuge\/neal_smith\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge<\/span><\/a> is a federal national wildlife refuge located in Jasper County, Iowa. The refuge seeks to restore the tallgrass prairie and oak savanna ecosystems that once covered most of Iowa. The core of the Neal Smith refuge was a 3,600-acre block of land originally acquired by Iowa Power and Light for a nuclear power plant. The Fish and Wildlife Service was able to acquire this land in 1990. Although the Neal Smith refuge includes a patchwork of small and seriously degraded native prairies, most of the refuge is the result of prairie restoration or reconstruction efforts. The restoration work has been done with local ecotype seed harvested from nearby native prairie remnants or from other restoration efforts that have used acceptable local ecotype seed. The refuge has a herd of approximately 50 buffalo and 20 elk. The American bison, also commonly called buffalo, once numbered in the millions, and the nomadic herds roamed great distances across the North American prairies. During the 19th century when the great plains were being settled, their populations were decimated. Beginning in the early 20th century, conservation herds were established to re-build the populations and prevent extinction. Neal Smith NWR manages one of these conservation herds which lives in an 800-acre management area. The bison can sometimes be seen on the scenic drive route or from the Tallgrass and Overlook Trails.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;The Archway&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1624803428076-77b7d1ee-c9aa&#8221;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;13656&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1624802638987{padding-right: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;padding-left: 10px !important;}&#8221;]<a href=\"https:\/\/archway.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">The Archway<\/span><\/a>, formally known as &#8220;The Great Platte River Road Archway Monument&#8221; is a monument on Interstate 80 located three miles east of Kearney, Nebraska.

Since prehistoric times, the trail along the Platte River through Nebraska, which came to be known as the Great Platte River Road, has been a thoroughfare for travel across the continent. The Archway museum details the stories of the pioneers, adventurers, and innovators who have traveled the trail since the mid-1800s. The exhibit starts at Fort Kearny in 1848 and features sections on the Oregon Trail, California Trail, and Mormon Trail that converged at the nearby Fort Kearny before heading west. As visitors progress through the exhibit, the displays of different time periods feature a prairie schooner wagon on the Oregon Trail, a buffalo stampede, the Mormon Handcart Expedition, a 49er&#8217;s campsite, the Pony Express, the Transcontinental Telegraph, a stagecoach, the Transcontinental Railroad, the first transcontinental highway, the Lincoln Highway, and today&#8217;s transcontinental highway, I-80.
