About Bighorn Crags
The Bighorn Crags are a rugged mountain range located in central Idaho, near the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness. The range is characterized by steep, jagged peaks, deep glacial valleys, and numerous alpine lakes. The terrain is generally rocky and challenging, with a mix of talus slopes, cliffy outcroppings, and sparse vegetation at higher elevations. The Crags were formed by ancient volcanic activity and glacial erosion, resulting in a dramatic, dramatic landscape that offers exceptional opportunities for outdoor recreation.
