Fremont Peak, Mountain summit in Wind River Range, Wyoming, US

Fremont Peak rises to 13,754 feet in elevation with a distinct southwest buttress that creates a commanding presence above Island Lake.

John C. Fremont mistakenly identified this peak as the highest point in the Wind River Range during his 1842 exploration of the Rocky Mountains.

The mountain serves as a training ground for alpine climbers, offering various routes that help develop skills in class 3 and 4 terrain navigation.

Climbers can access the peak through Pole Creek Trail at Elkhart Park Trailhead, with camping available near Island Lake or along Indian Basin trail.

The southwest ramp presents multiple path options through slabs and gullies, allowing climbers to create their own routes to the summit.
