The Big Horn Mountains, located in Big Horn National Forest in Wyoming, are the epitome of the term "purple mountains majesty". One of the most scenic areas of the United States, the Big Horn Mountains are half-way between Mount Rushmore and Yellowstone National Park. The lush grasslands, crystal clear glacier lakes, and alpine meadows offer countless accommodations for all level of campers and backpackers, including families. One of the more picturesque and direct routes to the Big Horns is at the southern end of the Big Horn National Forest, taking exit 299 off I-90 onto Hwy 16, known as the Cloud Peak Scenic Highway. This will lead directly into the town of Buffalo.
