Big Horn Mountains

The Bighorn Mountains are a mountain range located in north-central Wyoming, covering an area of over 1,500 square miles. The range is characterized by rugged, glacially-carved peaks, deep canyons, and alpine lakes. The geology of the Bighorns is diverse, with a core of ancient granite and sedimentary rocks surrounding it. The range's elevations range from around 4,000 feet in the foothills to over 13,000 feet at the highest peaks, creating a variety of ecosystems and habitats.
