Antler Peak, el. 10,063 feet (3,067 m) is a prominent mountain peak in the
U.S. Geological Survey geologist in 1878. However, in 1885, Arnold Hague of the U.S. Geological Survey renamed the peak Antler Peak because of the numerous shed elk and deer antlers found on its slopes.[3]
Although Antler Peak is clearly visible from the
Grand Loop Road
as it passes through Swan Lake Flats and the Indian Creek area, there are no maintained trails to the summit. The Bighorn Pass Trail, with its trailhead at Indian Creek passes approximately 2 miles (3 km) north of the peak.
