Nature
Mount Washakie, also known as Washakie Peak, is a 12,524-foot mountain in Wyoming’s Wind River Range on the Continental Divide. It rises where the Bridger Wilderness in Bridger-Teton National Forest meets the Popo Agie Wilderness in Shoshone National Forest, with Washakie Glacier about half a mile southeast of the summit. The mountain stands in a high, remote alpine setting defined by steep and rugged terrain. Like the broader Wind River Range, the area is known for serious hazards including bears, wildfires, snow, cold nights, and dangerous cliffs and rockfall, and it has been the scene of fatal accidents and rescues.
