Welcome to the Pryors
Layout Creek, Bighorn Canyon National Recreation AreaWelcome to our Virtual Visitor’s Center for the Pryor Mountains. And welcome to the Pryors. If you are not already familiar with the Pryors, we hope this website will introduce you to a very special piece of the Montana landscape. If you already know the Pryors, we hope this website will remind you of wonderful times you have spent there – and help you dream of future trips.
In either case we hope you will visit the Pryors to experience this enchanted island above the prairie. Travel gently whether on foot, horse, mountain bike, skis, or motor vehicle. Travel slowly. Be sure to get out of (or off of) your vehicle (motorized or not) to watch wildlife, birds, flowers, butterflies; to study the geology or botany; to consider the over ten thousand years of human cultural history; or to just sit quietly and enjoy spectacular views and the solitude. Do not hurry home.
We hope you will join us in our attempt to preserve this natural treasure for visitors many decades into the future. Help us convince the federal land managers to increase their efforts to protect the Pryors from abusive activities and other threats. They should develop management plans that better preserve the unique landscape and ecosystems, and the opportunities for all respectful visitors to recreate in this special landscape.
