Mount Woodring

Mount Woodring is a mountain peak in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, standing at 11,595 feet high between Paintbrush Canyon and Leigh Canyon. Its location sits within the Teton Range, a dramatic north-south ridge of exposed granite and shale.

The peak saw its first documented ascent in 1930 when explorer Fryxell reached the summit despite harsh climbing conditions. This early expedition marked an important chapter in the mountaineering history of the Teton region.

The mountain stands as part of the Teton Range, forming a natural boundary that defines the geological characteristics of Grand Teton National Park.

The route to the peak starts at String Lake trailhead and requires solid navigation skills as you travel through areas with loose stones and undefined paths. Visitors should come prepared for unmarked sections and be comfortable with mountain scrambling.

The location between two canyons creates distinct microclimates where snow lingers on north-facing slopes while south-facing sides receive direct sun exposure. This variation shapes the vegetation and conditions hikers experience depending on the route taken.
