Crossroads of the continent, Indigenous pathways, the story of the American West: this is Wyoming’s Red Desert – reportedly the largest unfenced area in the lower-48, home to a rare desert elk herd, largest living sand dunes complex in North America, and a scenic wild land of buttes and colorful formations that showcase our American western history. This road tour and hike will visit Indigenous, pioneer and frontier trails and sites and includes a guided hike through the Honeycomb Buttes wilderness study area by desert-rat legend John Mionczynski. Bring a day pack with an assortment of layers for being outside and hiking in cool, windy, dusty, sunny or hot weather. (Check the weather in advance.) Sunglasses/visor hat suggested. Bring a filled-up water bottle. We’ll have extra water and snacks. Sneakers are fine for footwear, but sandals are discouraged – due to prickly pear cactus. Binoculars are recommended, as we’ll be sure to see pronghorn antelope, wild horses, and probably elk. If participants have their own 4WD high-clearance vehicle that they are comfortable driving, they may use it. ...less

See fiery red sand dunes, sandstone outcroppings, and, while being surrounded by juniper trees, visit the lone fir pine tree hidden amongst them. Explore a large section of rock outcroppings and spot wildlife along the way as well. Please bring appropriate footwear. We encourage over-the-ankle boots, but if you are comfortable and confident in low hikers, that is acceptable. It is sandy, so you may want ankle gaiters to keep dirt and rocks out of your shoes. Typically, May is pretty cool in the morning and hot in the afternoon. This year, it will probably just be hot, but prepare for wind and rain with long sleeves and jackets. Please bring sunscreen. We also recommend trekking poles for balance on loose and steep terrain. Participants must bring at least one gallon of water, snacks, and a lunch. ...less

No prior OHV driving or riding experience is required for this field trip. This tour is designed to be very entry-level and accessible to a wide range of individuals. The majority of the available spaces will be ride-along opportunities with our experienced guides.

Please pack a sufficient amount of snacks and plenty of water or other beverages. Proper Clothing: The weather in the high desert can change rapidly and unpredictably. Participants must wear or bring proper clothing for any type of weather, including layers, a wind/rain-resistant jacket, a hat, sunscreen, and sturdy, closed-toe shoes.
