Wind River Mountain Range
Higher, Longer, Deeper: Wyoming's Largest Range
The Wind Rivers contain more than 40 named peaks over 13,000 feet, including Gannett Peak, Wyoming's highest at 13,804 feet. Seven of the largest glaciers in the Rocky Mountains are found here, including the single largest glacier in the American Rockies. There are over 1,300 named lakes in the Wind River Range, and the headwaters of the Green River can be found here. The Continental Divide crests the Wind River Range's entire length.

Wyoming Mountain Range
A secluded paradise for nature lovers
The Wyoming Range is not as rugged or remote as the nearby Wind River Range or Gros Ventre Mountains, but has a striking beauty all on its own. With a wonderful diversity of wildflowers and relatively easy access, it is a great place to go to find solitude for an outdoor experience away from the crowds.

Gros Ventre Mountain Range
The Local's Hunting Grounds, and a Rarely Traveled Gem
While the neighboring Wind River Range offers incredible backcountry hiking and backpacking, and the Wyoming Range provides beautiful slices of solitude, the Gros Ventre Range delivers true isolation to those up to the effort. Without major trailheads and easy access, you need to want to go there - and if you do, you will find exactly what you are looking for - wildness.
