About Wanker Hills

The Wanker Hills are a small, rugged mountain range located in western Wyoming. The range is characterized by steep, rocky slopes and jagged peaks that rise abruptly from the surrounding high-desert landscape. The terrain is predominately made up of granite and sedimentary rock formations, carved by glacial activity during the last ice age. Despite the range's relatively low elevations, the Wanker Hills offer a challenging and remote wilderness experience for outdoor enthusiasts.
