The Wind River Range is part of the Rocky
Mountains and spans the American Continental Divide. The mountains run for
nearly one hundred miles, north to south and within this region there are three
designated wilderness areas. Along the divide there are more than forty peaks
over 13000'. Below this there is a plateau which runs much of the length along
the mountain range, which is where most of the designated hiking trails are.
Photographs from one visit.
During
August 2004 I completed a twelve day backpack through the stunning Wind
River Mountains in Wyoming. This was mainly on the Highline and Fremont
Trails and included an ascent of Freemont Peak from Island Lake.
Afterwards we spent some time in Jackson and Boulder.
