“Powder River Mule Deer”

My passion for the Grasslands of America is evidenced through this organizations literature over the past 5 months. In the mountains you never feel alone, as you are surrounded by the purple majesty of innumerable wonders. The plains by contrast are full of melancholy, the howling wind and vastness of sky are constant reminders of loneliness. In this landscape I find peace.
