Natural Features

The Pryor Mountains are underlain by ancient granites and gneisses that date back 3.0 – 4.0 billion years. The same seas that deposited the sedimentary rocks in the Beartooths covered the ancestral Pryors and deposited the same types of rocks. The Pryors are known for the extraordinary caves that have formed through erosion in the exposed Madison Limestone formation that is ever present in this area. The Sage Creek cabin is situated in a draw, just above Sage Creek, at the foot of Big Pryor Mountain. The area around the cabin is characterized by high desert and lies at the foot of predominantly Doug Fir forests at the higher elevations.
