This is the same land that was precious to the Native American: an area the Sioux, Crow and Blackfoot Indians fought for. The highest point, Cloud Peak, is located 13,125 feet above sea level. Wildlife abounds in the region; Elk, antelope, mule deer and upland game birds represent the diversity of habitat. The amazing geography changes from mountains to badlands between Ten Sleep and Worland. This area, in fact, had been covered by water during its history. Many fish and amphibious fossils have been uncovered revealing the true diversity of this area.
