Cook Peak, Mountain summit in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, US
Cook Peak rises to an elevation of 2,973 meters within the Washburn Range, featuring steep slopes and exposed rock formations at higher altitudes.
The mountain received different names throughout history, starting as Thompson Peak in 1880, then Storm Peak in 1885, before becoming Cook Peak in 1922.
