Nature
Three Waters Mountain, an 11,685-foot peak in Wyoming’s northern Wind River Range, stands on the Continental Divide with slopes reaching into Bridger-Teton and Shoshone National Forests. Its importance lies in its rare geography as the triple point between the watersheds of the Colorado, Columbia, and Mississippi rivers, so precipitation falling on different sides ultimately flows toward three major North American drainage systems. The mountain is also part of a rugged and remote high-country landscape known for hazardous conditions, including bears, wildfires, severe snow, cold nights, steep cliffs, and falling rock, with fatal accidents reported elsewhere in the range over the years.
