Gros Ventre Mountains
The Gros Ventre Mountains are a range of mountains located in Wyoming. They are characterized by rolling foothills of sagebrush, glacially carved valley and high rocky peaks, but it is not as well-known as the nearby Grand Tetons. However, it is a haven for various recreation pursuits in the summer and winter.
Wyoming's Gros Ventre Mountains rise high above its foothills, valleys, lakes and rivers, reaching as high in places as eleven thousand feet. In fact, it is a stunning wilderness where snow can fall throughout the year and summer temperatures can spurn sudden thunderstorms.
The most well-known mountain in the range is Sheep Mountain, but there are many other peaks of distinction in the Gros Ventre Range, including the Doubletop Peak, which rises to over eleven and a half thousand feet. In fact, they are home to various wildlife species, including wolves, mountain lions, bears, elk, bighorn sheep, deer and moose.
The range's lakes are few, but are great for fishing. Other recreation enthusiasts opt for mountaineering, llama rides, backpacking, hiking and horse packing trips up to the alpine meadows and beyond. Hunters follow the many trails to seek out game.
