The Gros Ventre Range is a dramatic backbone of Northeastern Wyoming, stretching roughly 35 miles from the Snake River to beyond Gros Ventre Pass. Known for steep, forested slopes and sweeping high-alpine basins, it provides vital habitat for species like elk and mt. goat. Visitors come for non-motorized trails, backcountry camping, and to connect with nearby landmarks such as the John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway. Trailheads at Death Canyon and Fitzgerald Lake offer routes to pass-over elevations and alpine lakes; expect rocky paths, unpredictable weather, and elevation gains often exceeding 2,500 feet. Unlike more developed parks, the range offers a sense of solitude—plan by trail-specific maps and Leave No Trace principles.
