Doublet Peak (13,606 feet (4,147 m)) is the sixth-highest peak (tied with Turret Peak) in the U.S. state of Wyoming[3] and the fifth-highest in the Wind River Range.[4] The summit is immediately south of Dinwoody Glacier and just west of Mount Warren.[5]
Hazards
[edit | edit source]Encountering bears is a concern in the Wind River Range.[6] There are other concerns as well, including bugs, wildfires, adverse snow conditions and nighttime cold temperatures.[7]
Importantly, there have been notable incidents, including accidental deaths, due to falls from steep cliffs (a misstep could be fatal in this class 4/5 terrain) and due to falling rocks, over the years, including 1993,[8] 2007 (involving an experienced NOLS leader),[9] 2015[10] and 2018.[11] Other incidents include a seriously injured backpacker being airlifted near SquareTop Mountain[12] in 2005,[13] and a fatal hiker incident (from an apparent accidental fall) in 2006 that involved state search and rescue.[14] The U.S. Forest Service does not offer updated aggregated records on the official number of fatalities in the Wind River Range.
