Big Horn

The Bighorn River and the dry Bighorn Basin define much of Big Horn, with irrigated bottomlands sustaining farms and ranches amid a largely semi-arid interior. The county lies between Wyoming’s Bighorn Mountains and the Absaroka Range, so horizons shift from cultivated fields to rugged high country. Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area, near Lovell, follows the river into deeply cut canyon country and includes Bighorn Lake. At the northwestern edge of the county, the Heart Mountain Interpretive Center documents the wartime confinement of Japanese Americans at the Heart Mountain Relocation Center. Basin, the county seat, and Worland serve this agricultural region. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Big Horn.
