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

Younts Peak rises to an elevation of 12,160 feet with a prominence of 2,246 feet in the Absaroka Range of northwestern Wyoming.

The peak bears the name of Harry Yount, the first ranger of Yellowstone National Park who served as a hunter and guide in the region.

The mountain marks the highest point in Teton Wilderness Area and forms part of critical watersheds leading to the Yellowstone and Missouri river systems.

The climbing season extends through summer months when snow conditions improve, requiring advanced preparation and proper mountaineering equipment for the ascent.

Two streams converge at the western base of Younts Peak to form the Yellowstone River, establishing the origin point of this major waterway.
