Split Mountain
Split Mountain is one of 7 peaks forming a beautiful 270 degree mountain cirque in Wyoming’s Wind River Range. Four of the peaks, including Split Mountain, are over 13,000 feet high. Stroud glacier stretches across the base of 4 peaks to the right of this image, and is the source of the Green River, the Colorado River’s largest tributary.
A thin line of trees can be seen growing on top of a very old moraine at the cirque’s exit. That glacier is long gone, and the cirque's valley is now all rock, meadow and river.
