About Bighorn Crags

The Bighorn Crags are a remote and rugged mountain range located in central Idaho. Characterized by jagged granite peaks, deep glacial cirques, and alpine lakes, this range offers a true wilderness experience for outdoor enthusiasts. The terrain is steep and challenging, with numerous high-altitude passes and ridges to navigate. Glaciers and permanent snowfields dot the higher elevations, creating a dramatic and untamed landscape. Wildlife is abundant, including populations of elk, bighorn sheep, and black bears that roam the forested slopes and rocky outcroppings.
