Bighorn Peak, Mountain summit in Johnson County, Wyoming, United States
Bighorn Peak reaches an elevation of 13,167 feet and features three distinct narrow ridges on its eastern side within the Cloud Peak Wilderness.
The peak stands as part of the Bighorn National Forest, established in 1897, becoming one of the first federally protected forest lands in the United States.
Native American tribes from the region considered the Bighorn Mountains as sacred grounds for vision quests and ceremonial gatherings throughout generations.
The summit trail requires advanced navigation skills, proper equipment, and registration at ranger stations before attempting the challenging 23-mile round trip journey.
The mountain's eastern face contains a steep couloir that cuts through sheer cliffs and extensive boulder fields, creating a natural geological formation.
