Absaroka Mountains

The Absaroka Mountains are a rugged mountain range located in northwest Wyoming and southeastern Montana. They are part of the larger Rocky Mountain system and are known for their dramatic peaks, forested slopes, and sparse, wild landscapes. Named after the Absaroka Native American tribe, these mountains were formed through volcanic activity and geological processes over millions of years. They are popular for outdoor recreation such as hiking, camping, and wildlife viewing, and are home to diverse ecosystems, including elk, deer, and predators like wolves. The range also features scenic areas like Yellowstone National Park nearby.
