Description
I would like to invite you on a once in a lifetime experience. I’m running another trip into this incredible wilderness. Like this last tour, I have hired an outfitter with over 30 years of experience guiding in this area.
This trek traverses through one of the most stunning parts of the Wind River Range…The Cirque of the Towers. The regions we hike through are characterized by one fantastically picturesque valley after another. Since the last ice age, the glacial activity left these cirques ringed by massive granite walls and towers.
We approach the Continental Divide from the East, passing serene mountain lakes and rivers, and many towering peaks, en-route
This trip is about making new friends, photographing pristine alpine environments, exploring amazing wilderness areas, and reconnecting with nature.
Overview:
The wilderness areas of the Wind River Range are vast and wild. They’re not easily accessed and take days of hiking to get deep into the the wilderness. That is one of the many reasons the “Winds” are legendary. It is important to know that you will be miles from civilization.
On this trip it is important that you expect the following:
- This Photo tour will be physically, mentally, and emotionally challenging.
- Long days of hiking on rocky, uneven trails with river crossings.
- We average between 5 and 7 miles of hiking when we move camps. The last day is 11 miles, 80% of which is downhill…it is still a very challenging day.
- Days where we hike down steep rocky trails and lose over 2,000 feet of elevation
- Days where we will gain up to 1,500 feet of elevation while hiking
- It is likely that you will get cold, wet and hot during this trip
- It is possible you will have some nights where you don’t get much sleep. We have a total of 3 days off from our hiking (where we do not move campsites) so you have plenty of time to nap and rest if that is the case.
- I can guarantee you, this trek will be one of the most memorable and rewarding trips you will ever go on.
