The 10 Best Mountains in Wyoming, United States
Wyoming boasts a positively selfish hoard of natural outdoor beauty! From the soaring peaks of the Grand Tetons to Jackson Hole valley and Yellowstone National Park, the mountain landscape and natural wonders of Wyoming are breathtaking. All-season outdoor activities prove a natural draw for families, couples and group getaways. Sports lovers golf through spring and summer at attractive rates or tackle river and lake fishing, hunting and hiking. Families take to Alpine skiing and snowmobiling in Jackson Hole, Snow King, Grand Targhee and Pine Creek. Every visitor is awed by the deep canyons and steaming geysers of The Yellowstone National Park. Each magnificent sight rivals the next. The Grand Tetons rise over a mile above Jackson Hole valley, where a ride on the Aerial Tram from Teton Village offers unforgettable views. Across the entire state, wildlife stakes its rightful claim, from bison and bighorn sheep herds to black bear and mountain elk. For a step back in frontier history, take the family to Go Native America to experience Native American culture, history and arts of the Plains Tribes. Enjoy tours with indigenous guides, horseback riding and roping lessons. With every experience, your family will gain a sense of the pioneer spirit that pushed America westward.

Tallest mountain in the Grand Teton Range.

This is the ninth trip to the Grand Teton National Park I my lifetime. In remains my favorite of all the national parks I have visited. It’s beauty never seems to get old. There are a few roads that gives you access to the east side of the mountains, the the real beauty is hiking the many miles of trails away from the roadside overlooks. This trip we saw elk in rut, a herd of about 200 bison, a number of herds of pronghorn antelope, bald eagles and numerous waterfowl and birds. The fall color with the turning aspen was spectacular. I highly recommend this park to anyone, whether you enjoy the drive, day hiking or backpacking.

No mountain scenery comes close to the views afforded from highways 191 and 390. This drive should be part of anyones road trip through the American West.

One of best views of Yellowstone! Large horned sheep meander at the top with no concern for the two legged invaders. Interesting lookout tower to warm up in, get some great shots of Yellowstone Lake.

This 100-mile section of the Rocky Mountains, spectacular from afar, is even more thrilling close up, with over 1,600 fish-full lakes and plenty of wolves, mountain lions and grizzly bears around to keep you company.

I have had a chance to hike and backpack all over the world -- including Alaska, New Zealand, Peru, and South Africa (Drakensberg). The Wind River Mountain Range is one of the most stunning places I have been. You can only see the best part by hiking in, and the Cirque of the Towers route is awesome. The suggested time is 3 days but I might suggest doing it in 4 days so that you have time to enjoy the beauty that you are lucky enough to observe. Because I love to travel, I rarely want to go back to a place as I am always looking for new experiences. But I want to go back to this range and explore some more. If you have a chance to visit, do it. It will be worth your time. (Also, there is no cell service at all so it's an opportunity to disconnect from the world for a bit!) I was with a group of friends and we backpacked. This is bear country, but we saw no evidence of bears (i.e., no bear scat). However, we also took great precautions by camping in one place, cooking/eating in another and storing bear boxes in another place, all of which were at least 150 yards apart. The Cirque of the Towers route is challenging, but we saw families with smaller kiddos doing it so it's doable if your kiddos like to hike. There are two mountain passes -- neither of which are too bad. We did both in one day. the hardest part (for me) was the boulder field that you come across after Jackass Pass. But if you're mentally prepared for it (and not afraid of hikes like me), it's probably fairly easy. There are a lot of places to camp along the way. Don't miss any opportunity to visit Wind River Range!
10. Grand Targhee Ski Resort
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 464 reviews
Escape the crowds and get back to the way skiing and snowboarding were meant to be experienced at Grand Targhee. You'll enjoy wide open, uncrowded runs, with 2,602 acres of diverse terrain, 500+ inches of annual snowfall, a Kids Adventure Zone, and Wyoming's only cat skiing operation. The big mountain setting, slopeside accommodations, Western charm, and relaxed atmosphere make Grand Targhee a must-visit destination. Throughout the summer, you'll find over 70 miles of trails for hiking and biking. An award-winning bike park with 15 miles of lift-served downhill bike trails, makes for a perfect summer adventure. You'll also find two world-class music festivals featuring some incredible talent.

Great overall experience and Jordan the kids' ski school instructor who tought our almost 3 1/2 y.o. how to ski is a fabulous teacher and overall exceptional person. The staff are personable and make Targhee an outstanding resort. The Branding Iron has some of the most amazing food and Lindsey, Bobby, Ken and Mason are the greatest. Javier gave our son some special attention and he's still talking about him and his brother days after we've left. He continues to ask when we can go back to Grand Targhee!
