The Gros Ventre Range is part of the Central Rocky Mountain chain and is located west of the Continental Divide in Wyoming, United States, North America. The name Gros Ventre (gro-VONT) Range originates from the name of the Gros Ventre tribe of native Americans. The word is French for “fat stomach” and comes from the native sign for the tribe, a gesture of placing a hand on one’s stomach and rotating the wrist.

As the sixth highest mountain range in Wyoming, the Gros Ventre Range in the northwest corner of the state boasts over 200 miles of trails. The area is known for hunting, fishing, and mountain trekking.

The world’s largest elk herd can be found in the Gros Ventre Mountain Range and are known for their annual migration to lower Flat Creek, and winters at the National Elk Refuge. Moose, deer, black and grizzly bears, and many other species are native to the area.
