Absaroka

/ˌæbsəˈroʊkə/ proper noun

Definition

A mountain range in south-central Montana and northern Wyoming, part of the Rocky Mountains.

Etymology

Named after the Absaroka people (also called Crow Nation), a Native American tribe; the tribal name may derive from Hidatsa meaning 'children of the large-beaked bird.'

Kelly Says

The Absaroka mountains are where mountain climbers train for Everest because the high altitude and weather create similar brutal conditions—testing endurance before the ultimate climbing challenge.
