Nature
Mount Sacagawea is a 13,575-foot mountain in Wyoming’s Wind River Range, on the Continental Divide about 1 mile northwest of Fremont Peak. The state’s eighth-highest peak and the range’s seventh-highest summit, it rises in a rugged alpine landscape shaped by ice, with the Upper Fremont Glacier to the southeast and the Sacagawea Glacier to the northeast. The mountain was named for Sacagawea, the young Lemhi Shoshone woman remembered for accompanying the Lewis and Clark Expedition as an interpreter and guide. Its name connects this prominent Wyoming summit to a widely known Indigenous figure in the history of exploration in the American West.
