Hasn't voted | Scott, I can't remember why I made the decision to use "Bighorn" instead of "Big Horn" when I wrote this page; I know I saw it both ways, and I probably just picked one. From what you're saying here it sounds like "Big Horn" is probably the 'more correct' name for the peak, so now I'm thinking maybe I should change it. Do you think I should...? | |

Voted 10/10 | Joseph, curiously, I have always heard of this peak refered to as "Big Horn" (from its appearance from the north) instead of "Bighorn Peak" (as in the animal). Big Horn is the name used in some of the older publication (Such as Hikers Guide to Utah), and I believe it was the Wasatch Mountain Club who started refering to the peak as "Upper Bells Peak". It seems to be best known as "Big Horn" locally, but members of the WMC still always use the name Upper Bells Peak in their publications. I just thought you might find the info interesting, but either way, it doesn't matter to me what the peak is called, because its spectacular either way. | |
