Description
The Onaqui Mountains stand near the southeastern corner of Tooele County, separating Dugway on the western side from Rush Valley and Vernon to the east. The designated HMA encompasses the foothills between Rush Valley and Vernon, stretching roughly 30 miles southwestward to include the Simpson Mountains. The Onaqui herd is relatively large, around 500 horses, and provides the most easily accessible and reliable viewing opportunities of any Utah herd. A large band can almost always be spotted along the historic Pony Express Road between Simpson Springs and the Old River Bed channel. Smaller bands and individuals also frequent the areas east of Simpson Springs toward Lookout Pass and north toward Dugway.
All of this has changed as BLM has now completed their July, 2021 gather of 435 horses of the 500 by helicopter. One mare did die after suffering from a broken leg. However, this beautiful red roan did successfully avoid being captured as did the very old icon of these herds named Gandalf or the Old Man as he is now being called. I am simply glad I was able to see them before this occurred.
