About this site
Hogback Interpretive Site sits alongĀ the Bighorn Scenic Byway. Hogback About 500 million years ago the air and land were warmer, and the seas covered all of Wyoming including the area you see. You would not recognize any animal life at that time.
None of it lived on land. Then around 75 million years ago, the earthās crust began to grind together. The earth buckled, heaved, and the Bighorn Mountains formed.
ā Other geological formations to look for are steep escarpments, sheer almost vertical sides caused by the fault that runs along this ides of the Bighorn Mountains, synclines, downfolds in the earthās crust that cause valleys, and Cuestas, long gentle upslopes of alternating hard and soft rocks.
