Mount Woolsey (12,982 feet or 3,957 metres) is located in the Bighorn Mountains in the U.S. state of Wyoming.[4] The peak is the third highest in the range after Cloud Peak, which is only 1.3 miles (2.1 km) to the south, and the summit is located in the Cloud Peak Wilderness of Bighorn National Forest.[1] Black Tooth Mountain, the second highest mountain in the Bighorns, is an adjacent summit only .20 mi (0.32 km) to the northwest.[1] Mount Woolsey is on a knife-like ridge known as an arête and is connected to both Black Tooth Mountain and Cloud Peak by this ridge. Along the arête is another mountain peak known as The Innominate. A small glacier lies below the arête to the southeast of Mount Woolsey.

Der Mount Woolsey ist mit einer Höhe von 3957 m der dritthöchste Berg in den Bighorn Mountains im US-Bundesstaat Wyoming. Er befindet sich in der Cloud Peak Wilderness Area im Bighorn National Forest, südlich des Black Tooth Mountain. Er liegt auf der Grenze der Countys Big Horn und Johnson im Norden von Wyoming.[1][2] Der Mount Woolsey befindet sich auf einem messerähnlichen Gebirgsgrat, und ist durch diesen Grat sowohl mit dem Black Tooth Mountain als auch mit dem Cloud Peak verbunden. Entlang der Grats befindet sich ein weiterer Berggipfel, der als The Innominate bekannt ist. Ein kleiner Gletscher liegt unterhalb der Grats südöstlich des Mount Woolsey.[3]
