Admission-Free, The Pryor Mountain Wild Mustang Center In Wyoming Is The Perfect Day Trip Destination

When everyone talks about Wyoming wildlife, we hear tales of grizzly bears, enormous moose, bison stampedes, and thousands of elk wintering in the same spot . . . but all too frequently, our wild horses are left out of the story. The Pryor Mountain Wild Mustang Center aims to change that, and you can visit for free to learn about the herd that straddles the Wyoming-Montana border.

Wyoming's wild horses are truly a majestic part of the story of the Cowboy State. There are several spots where you can still see them roam, but perhaps no herd is more famous than the Pryor Mountain Herd.

Dozens of these carefully monitored equines make their home in the Bighorn Canyon area and across the Pryor Mountain Range. BLM land is free to visit, but many people don't realize there's an interpretive center and visitors' musuem on your way to spot ponies that's also free to see!

The Pryor Mountain Wild Mustang Center is a must-visit for anyone interested in learning more about the fascinating herds of the area.

The center was founded in 1998 with a goal of educating the public about these incredible, beautiful, and ecologically important wild horses.

Come visit the Pryor Mountain Wild Mustang Center to learn more about this herd of horses, and they'll tell you all of the best places to spot the mares, stallions, and foals of the band.

The Pryor herd makes its home on Forest Service and National Park Service land as well as BLM land, so there are many places you can visit if you want to get a glimpse of the herd at play.

The Pryor Mountain mustang herd is active all year long. Did you know that horses evolved to be better suited for brutal winter temperatures than steamy summer days?
