Whiskey Mountain, Mountain summit in Wind River Range, Wyoming, US
Whiskey Mountain rises to an elevation of 11,157 feet with steep rocky slopes and broad alpine plateaus near the northeast end of Wind River Range.
Early trappers and explorers during the Rendezvous period discovered a cache of alcohol on the mountain slopes, leading to its current name.
The mountain slopes provide essential winter habitat for North America's largest concentration of Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep, supporting wildlife conservation efforts.
Two primary routes reach the summit: Whiskey Creek Trail from the north and Whiskey Mountain Trail from the south, both starting near Trail Lake Ranch.
The mountain's dry conditions and wind-swept ridges create grass patches that sustain substantial bighorn sheep populations during winter months.
