Landsat Mosaic of the Wind River Range in Wyoming

Detailed Description
The Wind River Range, located in west-central Wyoming, is a unique wilderness area that rises from the high plains of the South Pass of the Continental Divide and runs northwest to the Yellowstone Plateau. The Winds, as they are affectionately known, are exceptionally long, wide, high, rugged, and remote. They are the highest range in the Rocky Mountains outside of Colorado and contain more than 40 named peaks that rise above 13,000 feet (3,960 meters).
Gannett Peak, located in the northern portion of the range on the crest of the Continental Divide, stands as Wyoming’s highest summit at 13,804 feet (4,207 meters). The Wind River Range is also home to 1,300 named lakes, seven of the 10 largest glaciers in the Rocky Mountains, and the headwaters of the Green River.
