Mount Helen, Summit in Wind River Range, Wyoming, United States
Mount Helen reaches an elevation of 13,620 feet in the Bridger Wilderness area, featuring extensive snowfields and the Helen Glacier on its eastern slopes.
The first documented ascent of Mount Helen occurred in 1924 when climbers Herman Buhl and Albert Ellingwood successfully reached the summit through challenging conditions.
The Wind River Range mountains hold traditional importance for Native American tribes who maintained connections with these lands through generations of seasonal migrations.
Climbers accessing Mount Helen typically begin at Elkhart Park Trailhead, following established paths through the Bridger-Teton National Forest to reach base camps.
The Tower Ridge route presents technical climbing challenges with its 1,800-foot vertical spire of migmatite-banded gneiss rising from Titcomb Basin.
