Cloud Peak Wilderness, Protected wilderness area in Big Horn County, Wyoming, US.

Cloud Peak Wilderness encompasses 189,039 acres of mountain terrain with granite cliffs, alpine meadows, and high-altitude lakes within the Bighorn National Forest.

The United States Congress designated this land as a protected wilderness area in 1984, preserving its natural state from modern development and mechanized vehicles.

Native American tribes left physical evidence of their presence through artifacts found across the mountainous landscape of the Bighorn Mountains region.

Visitors can access multiple trailheads for hiking and camping between June and September, when weather conditions allow safe exploration of the area.

The wilderness contains Cloud Peak Glacier, the last remaining active glacier in the Bighorn Mountains, situated at an elevation reaching 13,167 feet.
