Cowboys pose near a herd of horses on a hillside in Rio Blanco County, Colorado near Yellow Creek. The men are on horseback or stand nearby and wear cowboy hats, jackets, boots with spurs, chaps, gloves and carry lariats. Horses are in a temporary rope and timber corral. Tepees are near a wagon covered with a tarp. Steers are in a fenced corral on a sagebrush covered hillside.
