Bomber Mountain, Mountain summit in Big Horn County, Wyoming, US
The mountain summit rises to 12,840 feet in elevation, featuring rocky terrain and multiple lakes along the trail system in Cloud Peak Wilderness.
A B-17 bomber aircraft crashed near the summit in 1945, leaving wreckage scattered across the mountainside that remains visible to this day.
The mountain serves as a memorial site where visitors pay respects to fallen airmen through a commemorative plaque placed along the eastern climbing route.
The complete round-trip hike spans 22.8 miles from West Tensleep Lake Trailhead, requiring proper equipment and early morning starts to avoid afternoon storms.
Dark gray rock formations near the aircraft debris create natural markers for hikers ascending through the boulder field toward the mountain peak.
