Nature
Gooseneck Glacier lies in northwestern Wyoming within the Fitzpatrick Wilderness of Shoshone National Forest, east of the Continental Divide in the northern Wind River Range. Situated on the southeast flank of Gannett Peak, the state's highest mountain, it is separated from nearby Dinwoody Glacier by a rocky outcropping. Along with surrounding ice fields in this part of the range, it forms part of the largest grouping of glaciers in the American Rocky Mountains. Its position high on the slopes below Gannett Peak places it within one of Wyoming's most rugged and heavily glaciated alpine landscapes.
