Bridger Range

The Bridger Range is a mountain range located in south-central Montana, near the city of Bozeman. Stretching for approximately 40 miles, the range is known for its rugged, alpine terrain, with numerous peaks reaching over 10,000 feet in elevation. The range was formed by thrust faulting, resulting in dramatic cliffs, ridges, and glacial cirques. The eastern slopes of the range are more gradual, transitioning into the fertile Gallatin Valley, while the western side features steeper, more dramatic slopes.
