Wind River Range, WY

We left the plains, the ranching cabins, and the meandering Green.
For the green river lakes, and the peaks behind them.
The crew was excited right from the get go. We hammered out 6 miles, and immediately decided to chase some fish in the lake.
(That’s a tree for those trying to play sideways tattoo connect the dots.)
The view from our swimming hole was no slouch either.
We settled down for the evening, in a thick forest, and showed some pesto and tortellinis who’s boss.

Only question: Did you know you and KC are going to be nanopuff pals now?

We’ve got upcoming posts queued up about Flaming Gorge, Vernal/Dinosaur, and Canyonlands NP. Get your reading glasses out, it’s going to be good times.
