Mount Sacagawea (13,575 ft (4,138 m)) is the eighth-highest peak in the U.S. state of Wyoming and the seventh-highest in the Wind River Range.[4][5] It was named after Sacagawea, the young Lemhi Shoshone woman who accompanied the Lewis and Clark Expedition as an interpreter and guide. The Upper Fremont Glacier is located southeast and the Sacagawea Glacier is northeast of the mountain.[6] Straddling the Continental Divide, Mount Sacagawea is one mile (1.6 km) northwest of Fremont Peak.
