The Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area (BCNRA) is located between the Pryor Mountains and Bighorn Mountains on the Montana-Wyoming border. A wide diversity of floral, faunal, and abiotic conditions exists within the BCNRA. Objectives of this study were to compile a list of fish, amphibian, and reptile species inhabiting the BCNRA, with information concerning their distribution, habitat associations, and relative abundance, as well as appropriate management recommendations. Standard fishery and herpetological survey methods were used. Forty-two fish, amphibian, and reptile species were documented, five of which were rare.
