About Big Horn Mountains

The Bighorn Mountains are a mountain range located in north-central Wyoming and southern Montana, covering an area of approximately 3,000 square miles. Formed by uplifted sedimentary rock, the range features rugged, glacially-carved peaks, valleys, and high alpine plateaus. The western side of the range is more gradual, while the eastern side presents more dramatic, steep cliffs and rock formations. Numerous lakes, rivers, and streams dot the landscape, providing ample water resources for outdoor recreation.
