Ranger Peak

Ranger Peak is a granite summit in Grand Teton National Park with steep cliff faces on its northern and eastern sides. The mountain rises roughly 11,360 feet above sea level and offers multiple climbing routes for experienced mountaineers.

The peak received its name during early mapping efforts of Grand Teton National Park in the early 1900s. The name reflects the role of park rangers in exploring and documenting this mountain region.

The peak stands as a testament to mountaineering traditions in Wyoming, drawing experienced climbers who test their skills on its technical routes.

Reaching this summit requires advanced climbing skills and proper mountaineering gear, as there are no maintained trails to the top. Visitors should expect challenging terrain and unpredictable mountain conditions when planning a climb.

The north face of the peak contains a notable couloir that extends roughly 900 vertical meters from the summit down to the floor of Waterfalls Canyon. This deep ravine is a defining feature of the mountain's structure and influences many of the most technical climbing routes.
