Younts Peak, Mountain summit in Bridger-Teton National Forest, Wyoming, United States.

Younts Peak is a 3,705-metre summit in the Absaroka Range of the Rocky Mountains, within Bridger-Teton National Forest in northwestern Wyoming. It is the highest point in the Teton Wilderness. The Yellowstone River forms near the summit from two streams rising on its northern and southern ridges that join below the peak.

Younts Peak is named after Harry Yount, a hunter and guide regarded as the first ranger in Yellowstone National Park. The name ties the Absaroka Range summit to the early years of ranger service in the park just north of the peak.

The peak carries the name of Harry Yount, a hunter and guide regarded as the first ranger in Yellowstone National Park. Hikers who reach the summit find the two source streams of the Yellowstone River converging below the western ridge, a spot tied to the river's origin.

Access is difficult because of the peak's remoteness, so plan a multi-day approach through the Teton Wilderness rather than a day trip. The summit itself can be hiked, but expect steep, exposed ridges and altitude gain on the way. Carry mountaineering gear and enough water for the whole approach.

Two streams converge at the western base of this peak to form a headwater, marking the birth of the Yellowstone River. This merger point holds geographic importance as the origin of one of the region's major river systems.
