Hodges Peak is an 11,180-foot-elevation (3,408-meter) mountain summit in Sublette County, Wyoming, United States. [3]
Hodges Peak is located on the crest of the Gros Ventre Range which is a subrange of the Rocky Mountains. Hodges Peak ranks as the ninth-highest peak in the range and is 2.27 miles (3.65 km) south-southeast of Doubletop Peak, the highest peak in the range. [2] It is set 28 miles (45 km) west of the Continental Divide within the Gros Ventre Wilderness, on land managed by Bridger-Teton National Forest. The nearest town is Jackson, 27 miles (43 km) to the west-northwest. Precipitation runoff from the mountain's west slope drains to the Hoback River via Dell Creek, whereas the east slope drains to the Green River via Tosi Creek. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises approximately 2,800 feet (850 meters) above Dell Creek in one mile (1.6 km). The mountain's toponym has been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names, [3] and has been recorded in publications since at least 1914. [5]
According to the Köppen climate classification system, Hodges Peak is located in an alpine subarctic climate zone with long, cold, snowy winters, and cool to warm summers. [6] Due to its altitude, it receives precipitation all year, as snow in winter and as thunderstorms in summer.

Cirque Peak is a 12,900-foot-elevation (3,900-meter) mountain summit located on the crest of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in California. It is situated on the common border of Tulare County with Inyo County, as well as the shared boundary of Golden Trout Wilderness and John Muir Wilderness, on land managed by Inyo National Forest. It is 14 miles (23 km) southwest of the community of Lone Pine, 7.7 miles (12.4 km) south-southeast of Mount Whitney, and 3.2 miles (5.1 km) south of Mount Langley, the nearest higher neighbor. Cirque Peak is the highest point of the Golden Trout Wilderness, and ranks as the 175th highest peak in California. Topographic relief is significant as it rises 1,800 feet above Cirque Lake in approximately one mile. The Pacific Crest Trail traverses the southwest slope of this mountain, providing an approach option. The mountain was apparently named in 1890 by Joseph Nisbet LeConte and companions who noted the remarkable cirque on the north aspect.

Neighbors include Precipice Peak 2.7 miles to the north, Redcliff one-half mile north, Matterhorn Peak 2.3 miles to the east-southeast, and nearest higher neighbor Wetterhorn Peak 1.8 mile to the southeast.
