I am planning on making a go of the Wind River High Route starting Sept. 4. I was originally planning on following Andrew Skurka’s primary route, however due to time constraints I may have to make a modification. I have a shuttle booked from Trail Lakes TH to Bruce’s Bridge TH with Wind River Shuttle Company. However, with my modification I want to start out of Big Sandy TH and Wind River Shuttle Company can’t do this. I’m also aware of GOTCO Shuttles, but they’re uber expensive. Anyone have any ideas or know of a shuttle service other than these two? Thanks!

I don’t have any advice on a cheaper shuttle service, but have done the route a couple of times. I needed to shorten things up one year so I cut out Wind River Peak taking the trail all the way to the Cirque and then also took the Glacier trail down from the base of Gannett.
I’m actually looking at doing exactly that if I can’t figure out a shuttle. How many days did that take you? You took the Glacier trail all the way to Trail Lakes TH? Thanks!
6 days of hiking – honestly, you aren’t missing much cutting those ends off. Yes, glacier trail the whole way. Base of Gannett to the TH is a long day, even when going downhill. https://www.strava.com/activities/1779627387
Thanks for this, John. I believe this is what I’ll do. I really only have 7 (maybe 8 days), so this is perfect.
