Heart Mountain, Limestone summit in northwestern Wyoming, United States.
Heart Mountain rises 8,123 feet from the Bighorn Basin floor, featuring eastern limestone cliffs and a central peak with a curved north-to-south limestone face.
The limestone and dolomite rocks forming Heart Mountain were deposited when the region was covered by an extensive shallow tropical sea 500 million years ago.
The Crow Indians named this solitary peak, which later became one of the few recognizable landmarks documented in Lewis and Clark's expedition maps.
The Heart Mountain Trail extends 7.6 miles round trip with 2,560 feet of elevation gain, requiring registration at Heart Mountain Ranch before hiking.
This mountain represents the largest known land-based rock slide on Earth, with a 500-square-mile sheet of rock sliding tens of kilometers southeast.
