Tall grass presses at the window as your private car threads a ribbon of dirt along the prairie; wind tugs at your jacket and the Morigele River curves like a deliberate thought, daring you to follow. Over three days the landscape shifts from broad wet meadows dotted with grazing sheep to low black hills where riders cut loose across open turf. Yurts cluster at ranches; steam rises from milk-tea kettles where hosts invite you to sit.
