The Pryor Mountain Wild Horse Range was the first nationally designated area established to provide a home for free roaming horses. Today, approximately 120 horses roam the rugged expanses of the Pryor Mountains, along with bands of bighorn sheep, mule deer, and other wildlife. The southern portions of the range consist of an arid high desert while the northern portions contain fir and pine covered elevations of East Pryor Mountain. The interior of the area should be accessed only by 4X4 vehicles. However, vistas where wild horses may be viewed are available from a paved road paralleling the Bighorn Canyon within the Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area. From Laurel on Interstate 90, travel south on Hwy 310 to Lovell WY, then 14 miles north, back in Montana, on Hwy 37.
