Copyright © Ralph Maughan Much of the western border of Wyoming is dominated by the Salt River and the Wyoming Range. After about 50 miles, the two ranges join to create Commissary Ridge which runs southward almost all the way to Kemmerer, Wyoming. For many miles the ridge tops 9000 feet with numerous sections over 10,000 feet elevation. Parallel to it are various other N/S trending ridges. This scenic and wildlife rich area is little known except to local people. Moose, elk and deer are common. It is a natural migration corridor to SE Idaho and Utah, probably how moose reinhabited Utah beginning about 50 years ago. Wolves also follow the vicinity of the ridge south, but often run into the many bands of sheep. |
