Located in west-central Wyoming, the Wind River Range offers roughly 100 miles of some of the best alpine rock climbing in the country. Valley after valley of massive rock walls abound with hundreds of enjoyable routes, as well as a lifetime of new route potential. And with several peaks over 13,000 feet in elevation, Wind River is no slouch in the epic vista department. This is exactly why the range’s widely lauded routes have been drawing climbers from around the world for decades. Climbers looking for a boundary-pushing Rocky Mountain alpine experience can head to Hole in the Wall on Ambush Peak for its terrifying ledges and 200-foot dihedral. For a perfect balance of challenge and beauty, head to Northeast Face in Pingora, dubbed by some to be the best moderate climb in Wyoming. The Wind River Range never disappoints, and with its iconic routes surrounded by magnificent wilderness, how could it?
