Klondike Peak

Klondike Peak rises to an elevation of 13,120 feet, featuring the Sourdough Glacier on its northeastern face and J Glacier on its northwestern flank.

The first recorded ascent of Klondike Peak was accomplished by mountaineers Bill Kerns and Finis Mitchell in 1961, marking a significant achievement in Wyoming climbing history.

The peak's name draws inspiration from the Klondike Gold Rush era, reflecting the geographical similarities between this Wyoming summit and Alaska's northern terrain.

Climbers accessing Klondike Peak typically start from Green River Lakes trailhead, requiring multiple days of hiking through Tourist Creek and navigating steep talus slopes.

The summit houses both Sourdough Glacier and J Glacier, which flow into Iceberg Lake, creating a rare combination of glacial features in the Wind River Range.
