Deseret Ranch in Utah.
This ranch that covers over 200,000 acres and has mountain ranges, is owned and
operated by the church of the Latter Day Saints (Mormons). One could take guided
hunting tours and shoot big game such as Elk on this property . The Indians harvested
their buffalos here and the cliffs which they corralled the beasts to, to drive
them to their deaths, are similar to these. I thought I would find piles of old
bones at the base of the cliffs. The next four pictures show what I found. The
'buffalo cliffs' were a few miles back along the ridge to the right.
Is
this where the buffalo plunged to their death?
These
cliffs are inhabited by birds that have nested in the hollows.
Hundreds
of years of bird droppings (guano). This product is harvested in some countries
as fertilizer.
The
buffalo cliffs are in the distance.
Cactus
and other plants survive.
Very
easy to get lost.
