Big Horn Canyon National Recreation Area

Imagine viewing wild horses directly descended from the Spanish conquistadors, camping in your choice of two rugged mountain ranges and watching golden eagles soaring in the 1,000 foot deep Big Horn gorge.  All this and several hundred square miles of wild west geography to enjoy all to yourself.







Straddling the Montana/Wyoming border, the Big Horn National Recreation area and adjoining Pryor Mountain Wild Horse Refuge have so much to offer to anyone visiting Yellowstone National Park or traversing Wyoming on your way to the Black Hills.  Especially recommend the Horseshoe Bend Camp Ground on Highway 37 near the entrance to the Horse Sanctuary.  Beautiful location overlooking Big Horn Reservoir with water and power hook ups for a very modest price.




Identifying Big Horn NRA as located in Ft. Smith, Montana is misleading.  For the horses and Big Horn reservoir you want to head for Lovell, Wyoming, about one hour east of Cody, Wyoming.
