Mount Warren

Mount Warren is a summit in the Wind River Range standing at 13,728 feet (4,184 meters), with several glaciers clinging to its slopes. The Dinwoody Glacier on the northern side is the most visible year-round.

The peak was first named Mount Elsie in 1920 before Arthur Tate renamed it after Francis E Warren, Wyoming's first governor. The change recognized an important state leader.

The peak sits within Fitzpatrick Wilderness, where climbers share detailed route descriptions and photographs with one another. This exchange shapes how people understand and pass along knowledge about the mountain's technical challenges.

Climbers access the peak from Elkhart Park Trailhead by following Pole Creek Trail to Island Lake. The ascent requires advanced climbing skills and experience navigating technical terrain.

The peak displays a distinctive rocket nosecone shape when viewed from Dinwoody Glacier, setting it apart from neighboring summits. Despite its proximity to well-traveled routes, only dozens of climbers have successfully reached the top.
