About Session Mountains

The Session Mountains are a rugged and remote mountain range in western Wyoming, known for their dramatic peaks, alpine lakes, and pristine wilderness. Situated in the Shoshone National Forest, the range is characterized by steep, rocky terrain with numerous high-elevation ridges and summits. The mountains were sculpted by glaciers during the last ice age, leaving behind U-shaped valleys, cirques, and boulder-strewn slopes. The climate is alpine, with short, cool summers and long, snowy winters that create a winter wonderland for outdoor enthusiasts.
