Abstract
This research explores how and why people have developed an attachment to Wyoming's Red Desert as both an intimate place and an open space. After describing geographic interpretations of "Place," ecophenomenological methodology, and qualitative research methods, it divides analysis into four interrelated sections: understandings of the Red Desert's location and attributes; steps of the place-creation process; the meanings ascribed to the region, with particular consideration for the attachment to space; and the implications perceptions have for land management.
