Gannett Peak
United States
The highest peak in Wyoming, Gannett Peak, rises majestically in the Wind River Range. Remote and glaciated, it is considered one of the most challenging state high points in the U.S. due to its long approach and technical demands.
Climbers typically begin from the Elkhart Park Trailhead or Glacier Trail, both requiring multi-day expeditions to reach the base of the peak. The ascent includes glacier travel, steep snow climbing, and exposed scrambling. Crevasse navigation and high-altitude weather conditions make this a serious undertaking.
The summit rewards climbers with panoramic views of the Wind River Range’s jagged peaks and sprawling wilderness. Gannett Peak is a dream climb for mountaineers seeking solitude and adventure in a pristine alpine setting.
