The Bighorn Mountains are shown highlighted in red in the western United States

The Bighorn Mountains are a mountain range in northern Wyoming in the United States, forming a spur from the Rocky Mountains extending approximately 200 miles (320 km) northward on the Great Plains. They are separated from the Absaroka Range, which lie on the main branch of the Rockies in western Wyoming, by the Bighorn Basin.


The range is the location of the headwaters of the Little Bighorn, Tongue, and Powder rivers.


The highest peaks of the range include Cloud Peak (13,167 ft) and Black Tooth Mountain (13,005 ft).

Big Horn Mountains - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (365 words)
The Big Horn Mountains are a mountain range in northern Wyoming and southern Montana in the United States, forming a northwest-trending spur from the Rocky Mountains extending approximately 200 miles (320 km) northward on the Great Plains.
The Bighorn Mountains consist of over 9,000 feet of sedimentary rock strata laid down before mountain-building began: the predominantly marine and near-shore sedimentary layers range from the Cambrian through the Lower Cretaceous, and are often rich in fossils.
The highest peaks within the Big Horns are located in Wyoming in the 1.1 million acre (4,500 km²) Bighorn National Forest.
