Backpacking The Wind River Range - Wyoming's Best & Highest Wilderness 

Thank you very very much. As you can tell, it takes an immense amount of effort and energy during AND after. You'll appreciate my sawtooths video as well and in a week or two I'll have a Canada video up - that should be great as well. The product should only get better in 2024. I really appreciate your feedback though. I'll post my map details tonight.

Okay, below are the daily tracks from my phone. I'm not sure if you're able to see all the routes from just one of these links or not so I supplied them all. www.gaiagps.com/public/FkNBWlk6KA2lQzZonTuCRlyl/ www.gaiagps.com/public/ZIvuHgfeDOab2TAfQCKnYjDn/ - keep in mind, day 2, I took a very dangerous alternative route at the very end of the day along Fremont Creek. It was a primative trail that was good for about 50% of it until I basically got cliffed out and was doing some rather sketchy ledge walking for a couple different sections. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS FOR ANYONE. If you do take this route, make sure to stick to the highlands the moment the trail gets iffy along the creek side. www.gaiagps.com/public/dzQSd2aSeUdCi5WNcEEZIoMe/ www.gaiagps.com/public/vsW3Lb6TJD1DjE7NAo3SjxDw/ www.gaiagps.com/public/PLCrSwnaxuHYstp1VYWZ5oJH/ Let me know if you can't access all the tracks in one view and I'll send over the mapped out Cal Topo route.

@@tweedytreks thanks. I'm going to re-watch the video and follow along on the map. That first part with the jagged peaks is pretty stunning.

@@SouEuIAm hell ya. Man, the peaks here are some of the best in the country.

Thanks a ton Jen for the feedback. Glad I could help. A lot more to come!

Yeah, the winds is absolutely a bucket list location. So much beauty to explore out there. Captivating the lil ones while they’re young.

Thanks! This place is incredible and beautiful. I’ll be back for sure.

its a good video and i know how much work goes into it i used to have a channel out of Idaho a few years ago that was alot like yours it was semi susccesfull i had a good following. i pulled it down this mining channel i started a couple years ago just to give it another go but im not making anymore i havent in a year but i am still an outdoorsman hiker and backpacker here in north west Montana my wife and i are out all summer@@tweedytreks

Yeah, making these films are tough, but I enjoy alllllll of it…so here I am. That said - just do you. Whatever you enjoy, keep doing more of that. Having a partner to enjoy it with too - you got it made my friend.

My pleasure Michael. I appreciate your comment. My intention is to do it for as long as I can. I've got a huge bucket list that always seems to grow, not shrink lol. Much more material to come.

Appreciate you friend. Yeah, this area is a love at first sight place for me.

Of course my friend. That’s my intention. I’m glad you enjoyed!

Thank you my friend. I appreciate you and your feedback. Cheers.

Thanks again brotha. Appreciate the feedback. You’re not kidding though. That’s very very similar in reverse. Man, that section from Glimpse up to long, is a total headache and not enjoyable lol. I had it in greatttt condition too I’m sure of it. I can only imagine July and Aug in there. Those are the kind of miles where you’re really in your head a lot. Fortunately, those two sections were split up for me but still. They sucked! I’m with ya though. The winds are a fascinating place and I have it up there with the best of the best.

Thanks again brother. I had such a good time filming this one. Hard not to in an area like this. That route sounds pretty appealing and at minimum another one to consider. Last year, on the way home from the winds the ranger at ONP called me to tell me that they were cancelling my permit. I was supposed to do the Skyline Loop but there was apparently a nearby fire. Hoping it didn’t cause too much damage because I really want to do it. There’s supposed to be a ton of bears in that section.

I absolutely have considered it and it's on the never ending bucket list. It's likely to happen at some point in the next few years. It's the first place I'd go in Utah.

Thanks man! Hope you enjoyed.

Great vlog! I'm sure you will be in recommendations! Maybe more pictures from trail. This is amazing!@@tweedytreks

@@alex.fastov we’ll see what shakes up. But yeah, for next year I got lots of tricks of my sleeve to keep getting better and incorporating pictures is one of those elements.

Yeah, pretty hard to be cooler than the winds.

Such a difficult choice. They’re quite comparable and in my opinion, I don’t think you’re really picking one over the other for something obvious like: better lakes, views, summits, fishing etc. They’re both sooo similar in all those ways/attributes - they’re nearly perfect. For me though, I’d let weather and time of year decide for me. Assuming great weather in both areas, July 15-Aug 15, sawtooths. Aug. 15-Sept 15, winds. Weather and smoke being completely vital to both. Sawtooths commonly can get heavily smoked out. Winds can commonly have terrible weather windows. If I face either, I’m going to the other or even a 3rd different option. For me personally, how I wind up going to X place is in this order: 1. How badly do I want to go to X place? 2. Is the weather window good or better than good and predominantly smoke free? If both check out, then it’s on. If not, then I pivot. Of course, not everyone can do that and I feel very fortunate for where I live to be able to have that flexibility. Cheers and thanks for your support and feedback.
