Nature
Whiskey Mountain is an 11,157-foot peak in Wyoming’s northern Wind River Range, about 5 miles south of Dubois, within the Whiskey Mountain Wilderness Study Area. Its greatest significance is its setting in a high-country landscape that supports the largest wintering concentration of Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep in the coterminous United States, making the surrounding area important for wildlife as well as scenery. As part of the broader Wind River Range, it stands in rugged terrain known for rapidly changing conditions and serious hazards, including bears, insects, wildfires, snow, cold nights, steep cliffs, and falling rock.
