About Horn Mountains
The Horn Mountains are a rugged and remote mountain range located in north-central Montana. Situated within the Custer National Forest, this range is characterized by steep, rocky peaks, alpine meadows, and deep glacial valleys. The terrain is diverse, featuring both rounded summits and jagged, craggy ridgelines. Numerous alpine lakes and tarns dot the landscape, and several small glaciers persist in the higher elevations. Wildlife is abundant, with populations of bighorn sheep, mountain goats, elk, and grizzly bears calling the Horn Mountains home.
