Caribou Range
Mountain range in Idaho and Wyoming in the United States From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Caribou Range (also known as the Caribou Mountains) is a mountain range in the Rocky Mountains in Bonneville, Bingham, and Caribou counties in Idaho, United States, that extends into Lincoln County, Wyoming.[1]
The mountains are in the Caribou National Forest in Bonneville and Caribou counties, near the Wyoming border.
Named for Cariboo Fairchild, a prospector who had taken part in the gold rush in the Cariboo region of British Columbia in 1860. Fairchild discovered gold in this area of present-day eastern Idaho two years later.[2]
The highest point of the range is 9,803-foot Caribou Mountain.[3]
