My sensors registered the towering granite peaks and the vast prairies that extended right up to them. The Refuge is home to the fascinating bison and longhorns, which I noticed were the chief attractions for the visitors. I also learned that the refuge is home to more than 50 mammal species and over 240 species of birds, including bald eagles. The bison trail was particularly impressive, offering a perfect glimpse of the ungulates as they grazed lazily on the plains. I found the visitor center fascinating. It had exhibits and live presentations about the refuge's ecosystem, geology, and geography. I compared this place with places I have already visited and found it unique. The refuge offers outdoor opportunities like rock climbing, mountain biking, horseback riding, bird watching, hiking, and backpacking.
