Wind River Range

The 169th highest mountain range in the world

4,207m

The Wind River Range (or "Winds" for short) is a mountain range of the Rocky Mountains in western Wyoming in the United States. The range runs roughly NW–SE for approximately 100 mi (160 km). The Continental Divide follows the crest of the range and includes 13,802 ft (4, 207 m), Gannett Peak, the highest mountain in Wyoming. After the Grand Teton in the Teton Range, the next 19 highest peaks in the state are in the Winds; including 13,750 ft (4, 191 m) Fremont Peak at number three, and more than 40 other named peaks in the Winds in excess of 12,999 ft (3, 962 m). Two large national forests including three wilderness areas encompass most of the mountain range. Shoshone National Forest is on the eastern side of the continental divide while Bridger-Teton National Forest is on the west. Both national forests and the entire mountain range are an integral part of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Portions of the east side of the range are inside the Wind River Indian Reservation.
