Bridger Mountains (Wyoming)
- Bridger Mountains (Wyoming)
The Bridger Mountains (highest point 8359 ft/2533 m) are a short subrange of the Rocky Mountains, approximately 40 mi (64 km) long, in central Wyoming in the United States. The range forms a bridge between the Owl Creek Mountains to the west and the southern end of the Bighorn Mountains to the east. The Wind River passes through the gap between the range and the Owl Creek Mountains. Bridger Creek passes through the gap between the range and the Bighorns.
The range is named after Jim Bridger, who pioneered the Bridger Trail through the mountains from southern Wyoming into the Bighorn Basin in 1864.
