Turret Peak

Turret Peak is one of Wyoming’s loftiest mountains, tied as the state’s sixth-highest peak and ranking fifth in the Wind River Range. Rising between 13,606 and 13,646 feet in a heavily glaciated part of the central Rockies, it is bordered by Dinwoody Glacier on the northwest slope and Helen Glacier to the south. Its stark alpine landscape of ice, steep rock, and exposed ridges makes it notable but also demanding. Travel here involves serious mountain hazards, including bears, bugs, wildfire, adverse snow, cold nights, falls on steep class 4 and 5 terrain, and falling rock.
