WRHR 9/9-9/15

[Brad Rogers]

I did the Wilson-Dixon version of the Wind River High Route September 9th through September 15th 2018 and thought I would share a few pictures. We had good weather and a great trip overall. We camped at Peak Lake on night one, Upper Indian Basin on night two, No-Name Lake (10239) on night three, Europe Canyon near Lake 10542 on night four, Bonneville Basin on night five, and Texas Lake on night six.

Argh……..It shouldn’t be this hard to post pictures.

Thanks for sharing your photos Brad – looks like you had some stellar weather in great country.

Great stuff, and great weather! Thanks for sharing. What kind of shelter is (I assume) your hiking buddy using? Not the mid, which I assume is yours.

[Brad Rogers]

I was using my trusty Duomid. Gary was using a Gossamer Gear “The One”.

Nice pictures.  Many look familiar and bring back good memories.  thanks.

Nice work, and great pics! I was also up there in that exact period doing a long planned off trail loop out of Dubois.

And yes, it was windy!

I think the weather turned sour right after we both got out?

Beautiful pics, Brad!

Thank you for sharing.

Do hope I can get out there one day.

Looks like it was great trip with perfect weather, thanks!

@roamer – I saw your Trip Report and it looked epic. Other than the wind, we couldn’t have asked for better weather.

Thanks!

How do you like the WRHR, compared to other ranges and their offerings? When we did it I thought it was really high quality, with outstanding scenery and variation to the challenges –  and then taking in nearly the full length of the Winds.

I really like Wind River Range, and loved the High Route. I have done 3 other off trail routes in the winds in the past and enjoyed them all. The Winds are probably my favorite range, but I really like the Sierra’s too, but permitting makes them more of a pain, and generally I see more people. I have done a few trips in Alaska, which are amazing just on another level- everything is so wild and remote, and I have done some Colorado trips and a trip in New Mexico, and prefer the Winds.
