Split Mountain

Split Mountain is a summit in the Wind River Range reaching 9,291 feet in elevation. The ridge displays steep slopes and exposed rock formations that define the peak's appearance.

The mountain formed through tectonic forces and erosion spanning millions of years that shaped Wyoming's landscape. Its distinctive split resulted from geological processes that continue to affect the rock today.

Local Native American tribes regarded the mountain as a significant geographical marker for navigation through the Wind River Range territory.

The best season for climbing is spring through summer when conditions are most favorable. Visitors should prepare for steep terrain and changing weather at elevation.

The mountain's distinctive split creates natural wind tunnels that generate powerful air currents. This feature shapes local weather patterns and creates noticeable wind effects across the region.
