Lander Peak

Lander Peak, elevation 10,463 ft, is a mountain located in Western Wyoming, near the border with Idaho.
The mountain is better known due to a painting by Albert Bierstadt. In 1859, Frederick W. Lander, accompanied by Bierstadt, embarked on a western expedition. On his return he painted a mountain landscape on a large canvas, The [Rocky Mountains, Lander's Peak]. Following the death of General Lander during the Civil War in 1862, Bierstadt named the peak Lander's Peak. The painting was completed in 1863 and sold in 1865 for $25,000.
