We began our journey at New Forks trailhead in the Wind River Range of Wyoming. Despite what you might think, there is water everywhere! Lozier Lake Basin The other really awesome aspect is that the wildflowers have only two months to bloom and they do it all at once. More Wild Flowers Our rest stop, Clark Lake, awaits in the distance. Evening at Clark Lake View of Green River Valley at sunset. The trails were easy to follow, Green River pass the nights were cool and relatively bug free. Rim Lake viewed from Penny Lake notch We had an excellent time!

That area (Wind River Range) is on the top of my list, your photos cemented that sentiment.
Are the bugs normally bad?
Aug 9, 2010 at 7:01 pm #1636173Great photos. Looked like a fantastic hike.
Aug 9, 2010 at 9:15 pm #1636213Wow, thank you for those images, I needed a mountain fix. It's absolutely beautiful up there in Wyoming.
Aug 10, 2010 at 9:18 am #1636338Great pictures. I am pumped because we are headed there next week. Elkhart trailhead.
Aug 10, 2010 at 5:32 pm #1636556I guess bugs are relative, we are from wisconsin, the bugs situation here this summer is horrible. i did not use any deet during the hike, so i guess the bugs were not bad. I have read reports that the bugs can be bad.
Aug 10, 2010 at 6:20 pm #1636574OK, I see what you mean by relative. Yeah the bugs are horrible this year in those parts (the flies were the worst I've ever experienced).
Looked like a great trip. Maybe I'll get to do it early fall this year.
Aug 12, 2010 at 12:58 am #1636946makes me want to take another trip up there before winter kicks in.
from my trips up there, the mosquitoes can be bad below 10k feet in the winds. above that, i find that its relatively bug free.
