Darton Peak, Mountain summit in Bighorn Mountains, Wyoming, US.
Darton Peak rises to an elevation of 12,279 feet within the Cloud Peak Wilderness area of Bighorn National Forest, featuring year-round snow near its summit.
Nelson Horatio Darton, a United States Geological Survey geologist who extensively studied the Bighorn Mountains in the early 1900s, received recognition through this peak's naming.
The summit register at Darton Peak serves as a connection point for mountaineers who document their achievements and share experiences with fellow climbers.
Climbers can access the peak through Circle Park or West Tensleep trailheads, following Trail 43 on the Sherd Loop past Rainy Lake toward the summit.
The peak maintains a permanent snowfield throughout the year, requiring specialized equipment like crampons for safe traversal during summit attempts.
