Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:About Шаблон:Infobox mountain

Bighorn Mountain, or He Sha, is located in Banner County, about Шаблон:Convert east of the county seat of Harrisburg, in the Wildcat Hills[1] of Nebraska, United States.

The peak was named for the bighorn sheep that once roamed its flanks,[2] and were reintroduced in the 1970s.[3]

Many residents of the county have carved their names at the top of the peak; the practice dates back at least to 1887.[4]
