Love your images! Those wild mustangs look like they are in pretty good shape.
If the government and a few cattlemen have their way, they'll all be dead shortly.

I doubt your statement's truth. I lived in that area, Billings, 50 years ago, and at that time the wild horse range was totally fenced and off limits to any cattle grazing. I'd be surprised if that has changed. At that time there was a VERY rough two-track trail that went north to south directly through the middle of the range. It was more than a bit exciting to drive on the narrow, rocky, eroded trail. More than once I wish I'd never started, but it was impossible to back up and so we went through, about 6 hours of mostly 4wd. Got lots of pics on film of course and not much good any more. But the memories live on.
Edit
Just had another memory about the Pryors. In the early 1900's a Burlington RR route went through the mountains along a path that lies more to the west of where these mountain pics were taken. The RR construction crews had to tunnel through the mountains in one location. It was that tunnel which appeared in a sequence in the movie "Far and Away" with Tom Cruise and Nichol Kidman. I've driven that old RR grade often in years past. Thanks for the Great photos and ancient reminders for good wife and I. John

Number 6 of the canyon and river is amazing. I've been trying for years to get a landscape with that kind of depth. Looks like you could walk right in to it.
