Thor Peak, Mountain summit in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, United States
Thor Peak is a mountain summit in the northern Teton Range that reaches approximately 12,000 feet in elevation. Glaciers cover its eastern and northern slopes, creating steep snow and ice faces that characterize the peak's appearance.
The peak was first summited in 1930 when climbers established a route up the south slope. This early ascent began the climbing history of the mountain.
The mountain stands as a symbol of mountaineering achievements in the Teton Range, drawing climbers who seek technical climbing experiences.
Reaching the peak requires paddling into a remote canyon before following an unmarked route through alpine terrain. Visitors should expect high-elevation conditions and be prepared for backcountry navigation.
The mountain sits roughly one mile west of Mount Moran and holds permanent snowfields in its upper reaches. Its proximity to this more well-known peak makes it an appealing objective for climbers planning multiple summits.
