The vast prairie lands are visible in a 360 degree field of view. All directions are covered with the pale-blue sage brush and white-colored rocks and ground. The sight is magnificent to behold to a couple of easterners. The sage sends down deep tap roots and then lesser roots parallel to the surface. Some of these plants may be over a hundred years old.

The trail is now headin’ north as we approach the area known as Jackson Hole. The unbelievable mileage of flat sage-covered land is mind-boggling. We did see a couple of Prairie Falcons and more antelopes.

Wild Horses
In this area of Wyoming are living wild horses. The location is north of the community of Rock Springs, The buttes and vistas are home for approximately 2500 wild horses. A thriving population is surviving on these barren lands. Those in the know make claims the horses grow by 20% and up to 40 % annually. Reproduction is, apparently, going well for the horses.
Prickly Pear Cactus (Note insects)
With that in mind a number of wild horses are taken into corrals periodically in an effort to maintain a stable herd number. We stopped at one such corral.
The horses are placed up for adoption while in captivity. 
Eventually, as we continued north, we began to see higher terrain again and some steep and grandeur mountains were present prior to our descending into Jackson Hole. The hollow featured clear mountain waters flowing towards the Snake River. I was blessed to briefly see a Bighorn Sheep ram. The ram was a younger one since he lacked the full-curl horns.
