Copper Mountain is a roughly 8,317 foot mountain in the Bridger Mountains, a small range that straddles the Fremont and Hot Springs County line.[3]
The range rises north of Shoshoni, and is split by Wind River Canyon. The Owl Creek Mountains are west of Wind River Canyon. Copper Mountain is also sometimes known as Bridger's Mountain. Copper Mountain is part of a larger BLM owned parcel known as The Copper Mountain Wildlife Study area, which encompasses 6,858 acres. Most of the mountain is scattered limber pine and juniper with rocky slopes.[4] Nearby Boysen Reservoir is visible from Copper Mountain. The area is popular for hikers, hunters, and rock climbers, which has caused conflicts with local ranchers.[5]
