Walking Wild Wyoming
The
last time my father, brother and I were in Wyoming was in 1987. Now, nearly 30
years later, the three of us will spend the first third of August backpacking
the mountains of Wyoming.
After
some time in Arizona and Utah, we’ll cross into Wyoming and start our trek at
Big Sandy Trailhead. Our adventure will take us through Wind River mountain
range, the Cirque of the Towers, Jackass Pass, Pyramid Lake, Maes Lake,
Valentine Lake, Lizard Head Meadow, and the Continental Divide. The hike begins
at over 9,000 feet above sea level, and will take us above the 10,000 mark.
We’ll
be carrying everything we need on our backs—tents, clothes, food, gear … bear
spray. Hopefully we’ll avoid the grizzlies, and the scenery will be easier on
the eye than the packs are on the back.
