Big Horn Tack-on

Values

The Bighorn Tack-On WSA is located on the Rim of the deeply incised Bighorn Canyon and includes colorful sedimentary geology.  The scenic quality of the surrounding area is outstanding with views down into the bighorn canyon to the east, and to the south and west, the hillsides and steeply incised canyons and coulees of Pryor Mountain.  There is a small herd of Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep in the area.  The WSA is located within the Pryor Mountain Wild Horse Range and so wild horse viewing opportunities are excellent. Other recreation opportunities include, hiking, photography, and rock climbing.
