More Pictures of Eastern Sierra Wild Horses

The Montgomery Pass Wild Horse Territory sits along the Nevada–California border, where desert sagebrush basins rise into mountain slopes dotted with pinyon-juniper woodlands. Seasonal snowmelt and scattered springs sustain a mosaic of grasses, shrubs, and alpine habitats that support pronghorn, mule deer, raptors, and the mountain lion predator. Wild horses interact with this fragile high-desert ecosystem, shaping vegetation patterns and serving as part of the ecosystem's dynamic balance.
