Longhorn Valley

Longhorn Valley is a geographical location in the Highland Mountains of the planet Reach. It was a sloped region ten kilometers across, and contained a thick forest of Douglas firs, trampled fields, and the Big Horn River in the middle of it. During the Battle of Reach, the valley was occupied by the Covenant, who built large defensive encampments in preparation of excavating the Forerunner complex beneath Menachite Mountain. It was scorched with atomic fire after a team of Spartan-IIs nuked a nearby Covenant Cruiser, and is presumed to have ultimately been glassed.
