List of mountain peaks of Wyoming



This article comprises three sortable tables of major mountain peaks of the U.S. State of Wyoming.

The summit of a mountain or hill may be measured in three principal ways:
 * 1) The topographic elevation of a summit measures the height of the summit above a geodetic sea level. The first table below ranks the 40 highest major summits of Wyoming by elevation.
 * 2) The topographic prominence of a summit is a measure of how high the summit rises above its surroundings. The second table below ranks the 40 most prominent summits of Wyoming.
 * 3) The topographic isolation (or radius of dominance) of a summit measures how far the summit lies from its nearest point of equal elevation. The third table below ranks the 40 most isolated major summits of Wyoming.

Highest major summits
Of the highest major summits of Wyoming, five peaks exceed 4000 m elevation, 16 peaks exceed 3500 m, and 38 peaks exceed 3000 m elevation.

Most prominent summits
Of the most prominent summits of Wyoming, Cloud Peak and Gannett Peak both exceed 2000 m of topographic prominence. Those two peaks and Grand Teton are ultra-prominent summits with more than 1500 m of topographic prominence. Nine peaks exceed 1000 m of topographic prominence.

Most isolated major summits
Of the most isolated major summits of Wyoming, four peaks exceed 100 km of topographic isolation and 32 peaks exceed 10 km of topographic isolation.

Hazards
Encountering bears is a concern in the Wind River Range. There are other concerns as well, including bugs, wildfires, adverse snow conditions and nighttime cold temperatures.

Importantly, there have been notable incidents, including accidental deaths, due to falls from steep cliffs (a misstep could be fatal in this class 4/5 terrain) and due to falling rocks, over the years, including 1993, 2007 (involving an experienced NOLS leader), 2015 and 2018. Other incidents include a seriously injured backpacker being airlifted near SquareTop Mountain in 2005, and a fatal hiker incident (from an apparent accidental fall) in 2006 that involved state search and rescue. The U.S. Forest Service does not offer updated aggregated records on the official number of fatalities in the Wind River Range.
