Big Snowy Mountains

The Big Snowy Mountains are a small mountain range located in central Montana, just east of the divide between the Rocky Mountains and the Great Plains. Rising up from the surrounding prairie, the range features rugged, glaciated peaks and steep-sided canyons cut by mountain streams. The terrain is characterized by alpine meadows, subalpine forests, and rocky outcroppings. Wildlife in the range includes bighorn sheep, elk, grizzly bears, and a variety of bird species.
