Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge Headquarters

The refuge headquarters is a small collection of buildings constructed long ago.  In an otherwise high desert environment, the little bit of water, the few trees, and the green grass are a welcome respite.  Evidently the antelope think the same thing and are often found within a mile or two of the headquarters.
