Yes! I also recently read Lonesome Dove and couldn’t agree more. Probs on your radar already but I’ve found BLM land to mostly meet the solitude > epicness criteria. Enduring Wild by Josh Jackson is useful for CA BLM but I suspect there are similar guides in other states.
If you’d like I can PM you a couple massive, beautiful ranges in the west that would fit what you’re looking for exactly. Places with beautiful ridgelines to run and linkups that no human has ever done.
PMed! I sent you an exhaustive amount of info 😅 sorry. Hopefully you get out to somewhere with beautiful mountain running that satisfies the frontier yearning.
Cormac McCarthy's 'All the Pretty Horses'. Another excellent Western Read up to par with Lonesome Dove.
Tushars?

I think it’s Belknap from the Baldy saddle but yeah basically :)
Came up empty-handed on a 50-50 shot! But still an incredible place to explore. I could also probably spend a lifetime in that range.
