The Bridger Range (highest point: Sacajawea Peak 9839 ft/2999 m) is a subrange of the Rocky Mountains, in southern Montana in the United States. The range runs mostly in a north - south direction between Bozeman and Livingston and is separated from the Gallatin Range to the south by Bozeman Pass. Bozeman Pass (el 5712ft)is a narrow pass that lies between the two aforementioned cities. Sacajawea Peak is a prominent peak visible to the northeast from Bozeman.
The native American Sacajawea lead the Lewis and Clark Expedition through Bozeman Pass and some have suggested the pass should have been named after her instead of John Bozeman.
The range is named after Jim Bridger, who pioneered the Bridger Trail through mountains in southern Wyoming into the Bighorn Basin in 1864.
