The landscape of the Bighorn National Forest, in north-central Wyoming, ranges from lush grasslands, crystalline lakes and rolling hills to mountain meadows, sheer mountain walls and valleys carved by massive and ancient glaciers. And nestled among all of these various landscapes are vast stretches of forest – ponderosa pine, Douglas fir, lodgepole pine subalpine fir and Engleman spruce are the main species of trees to be found in the forest.

The forest is home to many species of wildlife – most notably bighorn sheep, but also moose and mule deer.

Three scenic byways go through the Bighorn National Forest and two recreational lakes. There are also two ski areas are open during the winter.
