Photographer Randy Beacham visited in June 2014, discovering a landscape rich in wildlife, history, and weather.

Our time on APR was more than a road-trip. It was a life altering experience that left me with total appreciation for the project.

My husband Tom and I first visited APR in 2009 when there were only 64 bison and, with only a modest sized grazing area, they were easy to find.

My friend and I arrived at the Buffalo Camp on the American Prairie Reserve around mid-day on Saturday greeted by the solitude of an empty campground (but for a group of five bull bison grazing nearby).
