Mount Fitzpatrick, Mountain summit in Salt River Range, Wyoming, US.
Mount Fitzpatrick is a peak in the Salt River Range standing at 10,907 feet with a topographic prominence of 2,247 feet. The summit features rocky ridges and steep slopes with snow patches that linger into early summer.
The peak received its name during early mapping surveys of the American West in the 1800s. These expeditions helped expand understanding of Wyoming's mountain geography and rock formations.
The mountain sits within a region where hunting and outdoor pursuits shape how locals spend their year. People have long used this area as a way to connect with the landscape and test their climbing skills.
Access comes via Greys River Road, though higher elevations may remain snow-covered into early summer. Plan extra time for altitude and bring layers since weather can shift quickly at this elevation.
The north face holds snow longer than neighboring summits, remaining visible well into July. Nearby lakes like Crow Creek Lakes display striking turquoise water contrasting sharply with the gray rock landscape.
