Bighorn Canyon
You might be wondering why it is called Big Horn Canyon--it got its name from the big horn sheep that roam the mountain side. This park straddles the border of Wyoming and Montana. This park is unique because some of the hiking trails go through historic ranches. A fun activity on the Sullivan Knob’s Trail is at a spot on the canyon's rim where you can shout across the canyon and hear a triple eco in reply. You should stop on by and give it a try!
