More than 572,000 acres of prairie
grassland in the middle of Wyoming's Powder River country, Thunder Basin
is one of the largest intact grassland habitats left on the Northern
Great Plains. Here you will
find broad ranges of short grass prairie populated with rare species
like the ferruginous hawk, swift fox, mountain plover, burrowing owl,
and black-tailed prairie dog. And
it's a great place for viewing golden eagles and bald eagles as well.
It's possible to get far enough away from civilization here to
know the land as it was before the first settlers arrived, and to
experience the true "soul" of the High
Plains. |
