About Prairie Dog Hills
The Prairie Dog Hills are a small, isolated mountain range located in western Wyoming. This compact range rises abruptly from the surrounding high plains, with rugged, rocky peaks and steep, forested slopes. The terrain is characterized by granite and limestone formations, carved by glaciers and weathered by the elements over millennia.
