Presentazione generale
Bighorn Mountains
Wooded plats, canyons and high-altitude roads between the Great Plains and Yellowstone.
To understand what Bighorn Mountains is, you need to look at Bighorn National Forest, Medicine Wheel and Cloud Peak Wilderness. These places give you a view of a territory marked by mountain reliefs, forests and natural spaces and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
Vedi tutto
For a stay of 3 to 7 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Luoghi imperdibili
Una selezione per iniziare a sognare e organizzare il soggiorno — non un elenco esaustivo di tutto ciò che c’è da vedere.
Place indismissible
Bighorn National Forest
Bighorn National Forest forms a mountainous island between the Wyoming plains and the great mountains of the Rockies. Panoramic roads, lakes, forests, meadows of altitude and trails to Cloud Peak offer a quieter alternative to famous parks, with real changes of landscape on a short road.
Place indismissible
Medicine Wheel
Medicine Wheel, on Medicine Mountain, is a limestone structure linked to Aboriginal ceremonial uses and sky observation. The place is visited with restraint: the altitude, wind and circle of stones remind that interest is not only archaeological, but always cultural and spiritual.
Nature and panorama
Cloud Peak Wilderness
Cloud Peak Wilderness protects the highest and wildest part of the Bighorn Mountains, with granite peaks, high-altitude lakes and the last active glacier of the mountain range. Without roads or constructions, the area is for self-governing hikers who want several hours, if not several days, of silent mountain.
Nature and panorama
Shell Falls
Shell Falls drop Shell Creek in a narrow throat of Bighorn Mountains, at the edge of an easy-to-follow panoramic road. Platforms bring together noise, foam and rocky layers; it is a short but very expressive stop on the crossing of the massif.
