Copyright © Ralph Maughan Carter Mountain is a long 11 to 12-thousand foot high ridge in the Absaroka Range, sporting innumerable pinnacles. The Absarokas of Wyoming are a long, deep, high, and extremely rugged mountain range that follow the east boundary of Yellowstone National Park and extends another 20 to 30 miles south and southeast of the Park. This mountain fastness is an intricately eroded volcanic plateau of dark volcanic walls, turrets, pinnacles, and battlements. Numerous wolf packs have formed in the Absaroka Range, including one just south of Carter Mountain -- The Greybull Pack. -- and now in the winter of 2003-4, the "Carter Mountain pair." The Absaroka Range Pack with the longest continuous existence in the Wyoming Absaroka is the Washakie Pack, which formed in late 1996. It's range is from the Dunoir eastward to the Wiggins Fork area. |
