Cal S. Taggart Bighorn Canyon Visitor Center
Cal S. Taggart Bighorn Canyon Visitor Center stands at the end of a short access road off US Highway 14A near Lovell, Wyoming, at the foot of the Bighorn Canyon country. The National Park Service building holds exhibits on the canyon's geology and the Yellowtail Dam, a staffed information desk, and a bookstore, with maps and ranger advice for the recreation area.
The visitor center was named after Cal S. Taggart, a noted naturalist and advocate for the region's parks. It has served since its establishment as a gateway point for people visiting the Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area.
The visitor center sits just off U.S. Highway 14A east of Lovell, near the causeway at the south end of Bighorn Lake. Exhibits, restrooms and drinking water are inside, and staff answer questions about canyon roads and the Devil Canyon Overlook. Winter and spring weather can close area roads, so check conditions before setting out.
The center serves as an official stamp location for the Passport to Your National Parks program, allowing visitors to collect and document their travels. This makes it a popular stop for anyone tracking their exploration of the national park system.
