Temple Peak, Mountain summit in Wind River Range, Wyoming, US
Temple Peak rises to an elevation of 12,980 feet, featuring granite formations and steep slopes that characterize the Wind River mountain range.
The peak received its name during the 1920s geological surveys of Wyoming's mountain ranges conducted by the United States Geological Survey teams.
Native American tribes of Wyoming considered the Wind River Range mountains, including Temple Peak, as sacred places for ceremonial gatherings.
Accessing Temple Peak requires starting from Big Sandy Trailhead, following a 6-mile trail through forests before reaching the technical climbing sections.
The mountain includes a distinctive rock formation called the Diving Board that extends outward over a vertical drop near the summit.
