Gros Ventre Wilderness, Nature reserve in Sublette County, United States
The Gros Ventre Wilderness spans 317,000 acres within Bridger-Teton National Forest, featuring mountain ranges, alpine lakes, forests, and the Gros Ventre River.
The 1925 landslide on Sheep Mountain moved 50 million cubic yards of debris, creating Lower Slide Lake and later causing a flood that destroyed Kelly town.
Native American communities used this land for seasonal hunting over 10,000 years, leaving behind vision spots and wickiups throughout the region.
The wilderness contains 250 miles of trails accessible through multiple trailheads, offering opportunities for hiking, fishing, camping, and wildlife observation.
The area includes one of North America's largest landslide concentrations and serves as essential calving grounds for the Jackson Hole elk herd.
