List of mountain peaks of Wyoming facts for kids

Kids Encyclopedia Facts

Wyoming is home to many amazing mountains! This article will help you learn about the tallest and most impressive peaks in the state. We'll look at them in three ways: how high they are, how much they stand out from their surroundings, and how far they are from other mountains of similar height.

Gannett Peak is the highest point in Wyoming and the central Rocky Mountains.

When we talk about mountains, we measure them in a few different ways:

Elevation: This is how high a mountain's top is above sea level. Imagine measuring from the ocean's surface straight up to the peak. The first table below lists the 40 highest major peaks in Wyoming by their elevation.
Prominence: This shows how much a mountain rises above the land right around it. Think of it as how "independent" a peak is from taller mountains nearby. The second table ranks the 40 most prominent peaks in Wyoming.
Isolation: This measures how far a mountain is from another peak that is just as high or higher. It tells you how "alone" a mountain stands. The third table lists the 40 most isolated major peaks in Wyoming.

Mountains That Stand Out (Prominence)

When we talk about how much a mountain "stands out" from its surroundings, we use a measurement called topographic prominence. In Wyoming, Cloud Peak and Gannett Peak are especially prominent, both rising more than 2,000 meters (about 6,562 feet) above their lowest connecting points. These two, along with Grand Teton, are considered "ultra-prominent" because they rise more than 1,500 meters (about 4,921 feet). Overall, nine peaks in Wyoming have a prominence of over 1,000 meters (about 3,281 feet).

Most Isolated Mountains

Topographic isolation tells us how far a mountain is from any other peak that is just as high or taller. This means it's a measure of how "alone" a mountain stands. In Wyoming, four peaks are incredibly isolated, more than 100 kilometers (about 62 miles) from another peak of similar height. A total of 32 peaks are isolated by more than 10 kilometers (about 6.2 miles).

Staying Safe in the Mountains

When exploring mountains, especially in areas like the Wind River Range, it's important to be aware of your surroundings. You might encounter bears, so know what to do if you see one. Other things to watch out for include bugs, wildfires, and sudden changes in weather, like snow or very cold temperatures at night.

Climbing mountains can be risky. Sometimes, people can have accidents from falling on steep paths or from rocks falling. Always be careful and make sure you are prepared for the challenges of mountain terrain.
