What can I see and do in the Bridger Wilderness?
- Green River Lakes:
On the northern end of the wilderness area, the Green River Lakes invite hikers and anglers. Winter visitors will enjoy snowmobiling into the lakes. - Gannett Peak:
The highest mountain in Wyoming sits in the heart of the Wind Rivers in the Bridger Wilderness. It's by no means an easy feat, so many admire it from afar. - Wind River Mountain Range:
Just past Fremont Lake, Elkhart Park Trailhead offers easy access to hiking trails. Go for a half day or up to a full week. - Fremont Lake:
While Fremont Lake isn't technically within the wilderness boundary, it is an ideal spot to start from. There are campgrounds and boat docks on the lake and just up the road is one of the primary trailheads into the Bridger Wilderness.
