Located on the border of Wyoming and Montana, the Pryor Mountain Wilderness Study Areas rugged, isolated portions of the Pryor Mountain Range may be tough to get to but the view is worth it. Some areas are only accessible by ATV, horseback or on foot. In less than 13 miles, the landscape transitions through a wide spectrum of geologic and biotic features, ranging from desert environments to those found in sub-alpine mountainous settings. Pryor Mountain is approximately nine miles north of Lovell, Wyoming.
