About Big Sheep Mountains
The Big Sheep Mountains are a remote and rugged mountain range located in southwestern Montana. Spanning across the Continental Divide, the range features steep, rocky slopes, deep glacial valleys, and numerous alpine lakes. The terrain is characterized by a mix of sedimentary and igneous rock formations, carved by glaciers during the last ice age. Dense forests of pine, fir, and spruce cover the lower elevations, transitioning to alpine meadows and bare rock as you gain altitude.
