background
Wyoming is a plateau with an average height of 1,950 m, on which various chains of the Rocky mountains rise, which culminate in Mount Fremont (4,203 m) in the Wind River chain. This is where the state's three main rivers originate, none of which are navigable: the Yellowstone, Snake River and Green River. The northern arm of the Platte River flows through the southeast corner of the state and receives the Laramie there.
