Wilkins Peak, Mountain summit in Sweetwater County, Wyoming, US

Wilkins Peak is a mountain summit in Sweetwater County located between Green River and Rock Springs. The peak reaches approximately 2300 meters in elevation and supports multiple towers for radio and television broadcasting throughout the region.

Wilkins Peak lies in the Rock Springs Uplift, which formed during the Laramide Orogeny, and is made of repeating layers of white dolomitic marlstone, greenish-gray mudstone and oil shale. Its own segment of the Green River Formation is called the Wilkins Peak Member, and the peak preserves evidence of ancient Lake Gosiute, a saline inland lake of about 50 million years ago.

Wilkins Peak carries the transmitters of KYCS 95.1 FM and its sister stations KFRZ 92.1 and KZWB 97.9, plus KTME 89.5, a Pilgrim Radio affiliate that signed on in September 2010. Repeaters for local police, fire and EMS work alongside towers on Aspen Mountain and Mansface Hill. The Wilkins Peak Trail System, built with the Sweetwater Mountain Bike Association and the BLM, covers just over 24 miles of singletrack west of the peak.

The mountain is accessible by a network of trails that offer different routes and difficulty levels for visitors. Information about trail conditions and the best times to visit can be found at the visitor center in Green River.

In 2003, an unusual incident occurred when a delivery vehicle collided with broadcasting equipment on the peak, interrupting local radio service to the region. This accident highlighted how vital the tower infrastructure is for communications in the area.
