Hiking 80 Miles across the Wind River Range in Wyoming 

I’m 75, and due to peripheral neuropathy, and a needed knee replacement, I’m unable to hike anymore. But from my mid-20s to just a few years ago, I hiked and backpacked often and everywhere in the US, Canada, and Switzerland. I had a hike planned for the Wind River Range in 2013, but had to postpone it because of an injury to 2014, when I then had to postpone it again due to another injury. I never made it to the Winds, but thanks to stumbling upon your video, I feel like I did make it even if only only as an armchair traveler. Thank you so much for sharing such a Scenic Wonderland with us. Your trip brought a smile to my face!

Thank you for sharing your journey with us.Absolutely loved seeing this! Great achievement mate and an incredible memory for you. Watching from JAPAN.🤙🤙😉

This brought back some wonderful memories from my youth hiking the Winds (I am almost 73, and I am really slowing down now). I always enjoyed running into Europeans on our western trails, since Europeans were always so kind to me on my three hiking trips in the Alps. You made a great choice visiting the Winds- pound for pound, the finest backpacking range in the Rockies. I guess you're not into trout fishing- most of the lakes you passed have excellent fishing for large trout, including the famous Golden Trout, which are native to the High Sierra in California, and were transplanted in the Winds back in the early 1900's, where they grew to world record size (over 5 kilos). If you go back there, definitely bring a fly fishing road and lots of small mosquito flies. You can pretty much count on catching plenty of fish, to supplement your food supply and carry less of it. Also, be sure to visit nearby Jackson Hole and the Grand Tetons, the most "alpine" of all of America's ranges, and then head north through Yellowstone to the Beartooth Range on the Wyoming-Montana border. It's a lot like the Winds- but even wilder- and the fishing is just as good! Looking forward to more of your videos! Have fun and keep trekking!

In 1968 & 1969 we climbed in the Wind River Range. There was much more snow then but the advice to pitch your tent in a sheltered place and be off the peaks before noon still apply!

Thank you SO MUCH for this video!

I like your comment about enjoying the day instead of worrying about bad weather. I’ll keep that in mind on my next trip.

Great little hike. Looked like lots of fun.

beautiful indeed-- well shot, narrated and edited too!!

Fantastic as usual Lyubo. Keep the inspiration coming. Thanks for sharing your adventures again.

Thanks for taking us with you again! Stunningly beautiful as always!

Such a pleasure to see your hike through the Wind River Range, especially while I'm laid up with a pinched nerve in my back and having to take pain meds and muscle relaxers to try and recover. It seems like yesterday when I was hiking in the mountains as you're doing, but I'm 75 now and just can't any more. So, enjoy it while you are able, as the years go by so fast. Thanks for sharing your journey!!

Nicely done!

The hiking King of wilderness 🙂 Congrats on yet another great adventure! I am every time amazed by the motivation you have for doing these trails. Thanks for sharing, it is always a pleasure watching. ❤

The picturesque scenery is intoxicating！

Great video again. I'm not particularly into hiking but I like the pace and your story telling/voice over.

CAUTION My wife and I did some parts of this same hike thirty years ago and many of the beautiful locations were familiar. I know from personal experience that the mosquitos can be viscous. Bring a headnet and or mosquito net jacket and eat on a breezy ridge away from camp and I know it sucks, but you may need to quickly stuff food under the neck hole of your headnet to eat miserably and survive the flying bloodsuckers…but NEVER, ever, under ANY god damned circumstances eat inside your tent!!!!!!!You are asking for a late night visit from a grizzly. Once it catches the food scent and investigates and starts peeling apart your tent the surprise you both have is likely to trigger extreme aggression from the bear. You do not want to end up like a zebra on a wildlife show that is still alive while the lion is pulling out its guts! Don’t eat don’t brush your teeth or do anything that will leave a scent in your tent. All even vaguely odiferous things should be packed away with all your food in a bear canister, locker or hung from a tree properly. Always eat 100-200’ away from your camp and if at all possible downwind from your tent. A bear following the scent to food will then stop well short of your camp location. Once while doing laundry at Yellowstone I read through the wall of years of clipping of bear attacks …most of the fatalities were not from surprising a bear on the trail, which could easily get you a charge, aggressive swatting and and sometimes mutilating, severe attacks -most of the fatalities involved eating in or near one’s tent as it can trigger predatory behavior. Save the bears, save yourself or even save somebody who comes after you by not leaving behind a smelly campsite with a habituated bear. Do not invite trouble! Ps-don’t use smelly soaps or antiperspirants in bear country stinking like a human is of benefit in this case. FWIW Old timers lore used to say that if a woman was menstruating, it might be best not to stay overnight in grizzly country.

Beautiful!

Love your adventures! Fantastic filming, editing and narration. Thanks for taking us along.

can't get enough of these breathtaking views! Kudos to you for this masterpiece and for capturing nature's beauty so brilliantly!

Fantastic video! I was just planning a much shorter hike in the Green River Lakes area this June, when your video popped up. Thank you for taking the time and effort to make these awesome films.

fantastic video sir.

Thanks for sharing the beautiful hike! Wonderful video.

Nice job!!

Wow! You covered in one trip what I've done in the Winds in 2 trips. Beautiful!

great video! definitely going to have to look into this one day.

Great film, thank you for sharing this with us.

Excellent work!

Really inspiring video. Great work

Beautiful video! Thanks for sharing

Brilliant filming man, this is breathtaking! Panoramic views are incredible! 👏 Bravo

You picked a great place to hike. The Winds are incredible!!

great scenery, very serene to see, wish I could have this much time in nature. thanks. stay safe.

Tak for, endnu en gang, en virkelig absolut fantastisk vandrefilm, kære Lyubo! ❣️✨🙃💫❣️ Love you, man! 🌱😃👍

Your hiking adventure looks absolutely breathtaking! Reminds me of my recent trek through the mountains. Nature truly is our greatest playground.Liked!

Beautiful nature

Excellent video Lyubo! Thanks for sharing this gem - loved getting a preview beforehand, you finished it suuppeeeerrrr!

What a very fine piece of filming and narration. I need to get back to the Winds!

Thank you!!

Subscribed great video and a kind heart!

Love it!

LOVE .the Tetons ! Your route was epic (like most in that area) !! My first backpacking trip was 40 mi partially on the Highline 52 years ago. I hope to hike there again in a year or two - after I complete some other hikes. Haven't considered the Green River area - but it looks fantastic.

Благодаря, че ни показваш тези красоти!

I thought the area around the Green River Lakes was beautiful. This video shows me I was barely scratching the surface of how beautiful the Wind River Range is.

Wow! I could only dream of doing such a thing and I even live in America! Where’s that courage I’ve been looking for? Nicely filmed and great narration! 😸

Поздравления за прехода и филма! Ще ми е интересно да видя списъка с екипировката.

What brand of tent and sleeping pad are you using? The pad looks very comfortable! Great video!!

What trail hiking app were you using? I go here every year and I’m visiting the same location in a few months again and would love to know what you used for navigation. Great video btw, Wind River Range is truly amazing and I’m glad it brings people from around the world to enjoy it!

Great job on this video. The scenery is beautiful and looks like something in Europe, I wouldn't have guessed it was Wyoming. I'd love to do this trek someday. How did you keep your phone charged the entire time? And how did you carry enough water? Thank you for doing this video, I really enjoyed watching it.

Those "little pyramids" are called cairns....which is Welsh for pile of rocks...😉

Поредното прекрасно приключение :)

Thank you for the video. Fantastic. Are you a vegetarian? Thank you again.

What brand is your backpack?

Anaother great hike, Lyubo! I have a little recommendation. The narrative audio have a little bit too much low frequencies and have too weak middle and high frequencies. This makes it hard to understand, because human voice lives mostly in the middle frequencies. The audio from the camera during the hike for example is much easier to understand. You can try lowering the low frequencies and boosting the mids a little bit (for the narrative audio). Keep up the good work! 🙌

Mandatory bear safe food canisters. Ive completed the same traverse.

Is that Outdoor Vitals backpack?

Wow!! What an amazing video. Thanks for sharing. sub & 👍290

thought i was watching a harmen hoek vid🤣

Пускам с кафето :)
