Bair Peak, Mountain summit in Sublette and Fremont Counties, United States.
Bair Peak is a mountain summit located on the border between Sublette and Fremont Counties in Wyoming. The mountain rises to 3,747 meters (12,292 feet) and displays rock formations typical of the northern Rocky Mountain range.
The peak served as a natural reference point for territorial surveyors mapping Wyoming in the 1800s. Its location at the county boundary made it a recognizable landmark for early explorers and mapmakers in the region.
The mountain serves as a focal point for local outdoor recreation communities, drawing mountaineers and hikers throughout the climbing seasons.
Reaching the summit requires advanced mountaineering skills and proper climbing gear, as the terrain is steep and exposed in places. Summer months offer the most favorable conditions, when snowmelt has cleared most of the peak.
The peak's location at the county boundary creates distinct weather patterns on different slopes of the mountain. Wind patterns and snowfall vary significantly between the north and south faces, affecting climbing conditions throughout the year.
