Prospectors Mountain

Prospectors Mountain is a summit in Grand Teton National Park and part of the Rocky Mountain range. The peak features steep rock faces and rough terrain that draw climbers and hikers to the area.

The summit received its name during the 19th century when miners explored the region searching for valuable minerals. This naming reflects the mining activities that shaped the area during that era.

The mountain serves as a geographical marker for Native American tribes who traversed through Death Canyon and the surrounding territories for generations.

Summer months offer the best climbing conditions when snow clears from higher elevations and conditions are safer. Visitors should bring proper gear and mountain experience, as reaching the summit requires technical climbing ability.

The rock on this summit is among the oldest geological formations in North America, originating from Earth's earliest times. These ancient stones give geologists valuable insights into the continent's original composition.
