Adobe Town is nationally known for its trophy pronghorn antelope and mule deer. It also includes Wyoming's largest herd of wild horses. Due to an abundance of jack rabbits and other prey this area is prime raptor habitat. Golden eagles, prairie falcons, red-tailed hawks and ferruginous hawks nest throughout these badlands. The area is thought to contain the northeastern-most stands of pinyon pine in the United States.
Red Creek contains Colorado River cutthroat trout habitat, a rare trout species.
The Tepee Mountains rising to over 8,800 feet contains many deeply incised canyons, some of which contain remnants of fossil flamingo rookeries 50 million years old. The Red Creek ACEC is within the area. Devil's Playground is a highly eroded maze of green and gray badlands surrounding Black Mountain. Barren hills, canyons and eerie rock hoodoos carved by water and wind make up much of this wilderness area. In the south portion, the magnificent mesas of Twin Buttes tower 700 feet above the outlying sagebrush steppe.
