We found BigHorn Canyon to be both beautiful and desolate. It’s proximity to Yellowstone and Bighorn National Forest appear to make it less visited which makes for a more intimate experience. Surprisingly there’s plenty of wildlife, In fact we had a Montana standoff with a wild stallion which lasted for several minutes. We yielded of course and he obliged by giving us passage. Priceless !!

Devils Overlook was amazing. Great side trip away from Yellowstone.

Wow so far the highlight of our trip. The views are spectacular. And the pictures and videos don't do it justice. We had a gorgeous day it was 92°. Simply stunning!

Place was amazing. The canyon and overlooks were grand. Did the short Sullivan knob trail which was fun. Played around with the triple echo and watched bird soaring over head. Unfortunately didnt catch much wildlife. Two very far off bighorns and one lonely horse. Walked through the lockhart ranch site. Was very cool. In very good shape still. Stayed in the campground down by the reservoir. Was pretty wide open camping but nice. Enjoyed the lake

Questions & Answers

Is dispersed camping allowed, and if so, is there a length limit on the rig?

Yes. Public land. For our pickup truck easy to find places. Not sure about longer. If strike out, stay at Barry's Landing

I believe there are 2 entrances - quite far away from each other and in different states. Make sure u know which area u want to visit. Have fun.
