The canyon was created when the Bighorn River sliced through the uplift crust of the Bighorn Mountains, and its dramatic cliffs expose a geological history that dates back millions of years. The canyon also shelters more than 10,000 years of human history and is considered a sacred site among the Crow and Shoshone peoples. Today, visitors to the 120,000-acre Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area can explore 17 miles of hiking trails, admire ancient petroglyphs, and spot wild horses roaming this stunning landscape. You'll find breathtaking views of the soaring canyon walls from Bighorn Lake, plus the chance to camp lakeside and visit dude ranches.
