Join us on a tour of McCullough Peaks Wild Horse Management Area, located about 25 minutes east of Cody, WY. This landscape is a vast, high-desert environment marked on the edges by rocky badlands and views of the Bighorn and Absaroka Mountain Ranges in the distance. Our journey here will pass through expansive sage fields, wind along small springs and creeks, set up viewing stations at ancient watering holes, and traversing rolling grasslands where wildlife such as pronghorn, coyotes, hawks, eagles and songbirds are all present. Our main goal is to find and observe a unique wild mustang herd, with horses ranging in color, size and personality who form fascinating family units living off the land in their wild and untouched state.
