About Big Hole Mountains
The Big Hole Mountains are a rugged mountain range located in eastern Idaho near the border with Montana. The range is characterized by steep, rocky peaks, deep glacial valleys, and numerous alpine lakes and tarns. The terrain varies from high alpine tundra and bare rock at the highest elevations to dense coniferous forests and meadows at lower elevations. Prominent geologic features include jagged granite ridges, talus slopes, and cirques carved by past glacial activity.
