Bighorn Mountains

The Bighorn Mountains are a prominent mountain range in north-central Wyoming, covering over 3,000 square miles. The range is characterized by rugged granite peaks, deep glacial valleys, and alpine meadows dotted with alpine lakes. The mountains rise sharply from the surrounding high plains, reaching elevations over 13,000 feet. Glaciers and permanent snowfields can be found in the highest areas. The range is part of the Bighorn National Forest and offers diverse recreational opportunities throughout the seasons.
