Gannett Peak (highest in Wyoming)
— — the state's high ground, under glacier.
Not only on a wall.
“The highest summit in Wyoming, at 13,804 feet on the Continental Divide. Granite and ice. Gannett Glacier wraps the north side, the largest single glacier in the American Rockies. Every standard route to the top crosses snow, even in August. The approach from Elkhart Park is long; the approach from Trail Lake on the east side is longer. Climbers spend a week getting there and back, and the summit is small enough that only a few people stand on it at a time. from the studio

Gannett Peak is the highest summit in Wyoming at 13,809 feet (4,209 m), rising on the Continental Divide in the Wind River Range. It sits on the boundary between Fremont and Sublette counties, with the Fitzpatrick Wilderness of Shoshone National Forest on its east flank and the Bridger Wilderness of Bridger-Teton National Forest on the west. The peak was named in 1906 for Henry Gannett, chief geographer of the U.S. Geological Survey. It is widely regarded as the most remote of the contiguous-state high points.
Seven named glaciers ring the upper mountain. Gannett Glacier on the north face is the largest single glacier in the American Rockies outside Alaska, though it has lost roughly half its area since the late nineteenth century. Dinwoody Glacier covers the east side and feeds Dinwoody Creek down into the Wind River Indian Reservation. The standard west-side route ascends the Gooseneck Glacier and crosses a bergschrund below the summit ridge. Every route on the mountain involves snow and ice travel even at the height of summer.
Two long approaches are standard. From the west, Elkhart Park above Pinedale leads about twenty-five miles through Titcomb Basin to the Bonney Pass crossing and the Gooseneck route. From the east, Trail Lake outside Dubois climbs Glacier Trail roughly twenty-three miles to a Dinwoody Glacier base camp. Most parties take five to eight days round trip. The reliable climbing window is mid-July through August. Bear-resistant food storage is required, and group size in the Bridger Wilderness is capped at fifteen.
