I downloaded a free program that was to make conversions to black and white easier. I went back to photoshop, but to me it looks muddy. I realize the background is grey sagebrush, sand comes out grey, and a tan girl ends up grey. Any suggestions?

suggest you try Silver Efx Pro (part of the FREE NIK software collection). With Silver Efx Pro, you have several options for converting to B&W, plus options for making your own adjustments.
And it is FREE from NIK (now owned by Google)

Ok. Went back and used the RAW filter and added clarity. It looks pretty good while in photoshop, Now to compare.

Some photos just don't lend themselves well to black and white. You need a nearly full range of tones. A mixture of mid-range tones will not, generally, produce a good b&w.
Just a suggestion--lost that skull. It isn't adding anything to your nice photos, and sometimes it detracts.
