Description: The wild horse herds in this area are most frequently spotted in sagebrush parks scattered throughout the horse range, traveling in small bands made up of a stud and his harem of mares, or in bachelor bands of young stallions. Horses use the higher country in spring, summer and fall, moving to lower country in winter where there is less snow and feed is more easily
found. Some of the best opportunities for catching a glimpse during the summer months is in the Indian Park or North Soda areas. During the winter they may be spotted in Coal Canyon or Main Canyon. Numerous hiking and horseback riding trails cross through the area, but motorized travel is restricted in Coal Canyon (see below). Dispersed camping is permitted.
