When you fly or drive in Mongolia, you realize how empty and desolate the country is outside of its few population centers. In the fall and early winter everything looks brown - not the lush green of summer when grazing seems so natural.
Western Mongolia around Khovd reminded us of Rock Springs Wyoming or parts of Nevada.
