About Cooney Hills
The Cooney Hills are a small but rugged mountain range located in western Wyoming. Formed by uplifted sedimentary rock, the range features steep, jagged peaks and deep, narrow canyons carved by glaciers and erosion. The terrain is characterized by sheer cliffs, talus slopes, and alpine meadows dotted with wildflowers in the warmer months. Wildlife in the Cooney Hills includes bighorn sheep, elk, and a variety of bird species that thrive in the high-altitude environment.
