East Temple Peak rises above Deep Lake. Wind River Range, Bridger-Teton NF, Rocky Mountains, Wyoming, USA.

The sharp point of East Temple Peak rises above Deep Lake in Bridger Wilderness. At left is the shoulder of Haystack Mountain. Backpack to Big Sandy Lake Campground (11 miles round trip with 1000 feet gain). Day hike from Big Sandy Lake to Clear Lake and Deep Lake below East Temple Peak then loop back via Temple Lake, Miller Lake, and Rapid Lake (7.5 miles, 1060 ft gain) on the Continental Divide Trail. Wind River Range, Bridger-Teton National Forest, Rocky Mountains, Wyoming, USA. The Continental Divide follows the crest of the "Winds". Mostly composed of granite batholiths formed deep within the earth over 1 billion years ago, the Wind River Range is one of the oldest mountain ranges in North America. These granite monoliths were uplifted, exposed by erosion, then carved by glaciers 500,000 years ago to form cirques and U-shaped valleys. This image was stitched from multiple overlapping photos.
