Absaroka Range

The Absaroka Range is a rugged and remote mountain range located in northwestern Wyoming. Forming the eastern boundary of Yellowstone National Park, the Absarokas feature dramatic granite peaks, high alpine basins, and deeply carved canyons. With an elevation range spanning from around 6,000 to over 13,000 feet, the terrain varies from forested foothills to bare, wind-swept ridges. Steep, rocky slopes and numerous glaciers characterize the higher elevations, while lower areas are dominated by subalpine forests of pine, fir, and spruce.
