Wilderness Landscape & Natural Heritage
The Red Desert in Wyoming spans nearly 10,000 square miles and is managed by the Bureau of Land Management. It's a mix of high-altitude desert, expansive sand dunes, colorful badlands, and alpine lakes. The region is home to some of the largest sand dunes in North America, such as the Killpecker Sand Dunes. It is a critical wildlife corridor that supports species like pronghorn, wild horses, and sage grouse. Historically, it has been vital to indigenous tribes and was a significant route during the Oregon and Mormon Trails. The area offers a wide spectrum of recreational activities, from trekking across its secluded trails to wildlife viewing and photography. Its vastness offers a solitude rare in today's world, with breathtaking sunsets and starry skies enhancing its appeal.
