Gannett Peak Expedition

The Wind River Range of Wyoming is one of the most spectacular mountain ranges in the lower 48. It also holds Wyoming’s highest summit, Gannett Peak (13,804’). Our 5-6 day guided climb of Gannett Peak approaches from the east side of the Winds at the Cold Springs Trailhead (32 miles roundtrip) or Glacier Trail Trailhead (48 miles roundtrip). This remote and demanding trip will reward you a chance to summit one of the most incredible high points in the U.S.

SUPPORT

Having a porter pack in the bulk of our gear is highly recommended. This is a 32 - 48 mile roundtrip expedition, carrying a lighter pack isn’t only more enjoyable, it’s safer. Additionally, your AMGA certified guide will prepare and cook breakfast and dinner each day to allow for relaxation time!

Please note that the course price does NOT include the porter fees. Expect to pay an additional $700 - $1,400 for a porter. Costs vary depending on group size and will be divided evenly amongst the group.
