Wind River Range (Wyoming) Backpacking - September 2019
Instagram: @davidgray.photography
In early September 2019 I teamed up with Carl once again to make a return trip to the Wind River Range in northwest Wyoming. The route for this trip was identical to the trip we had planned for our June 2018 hike, but on that trip when we got out to Pinedale the local outfitter convinced us to change our plans due to flooded trails and lingering snow.
This year's trip was a 3-day, 30-mile hike that took us back to the spectacular Island Lake / Titcomb Basin area. This section of the Winds offers truly breathtaking scenery reminiscent of what you find in Glacier National Park and the Sierra Nevada of California. Beautiful alpine lakes and granite mountains that rise sharply from the surrounding terrain.
It certainly didn't hurt that our 'great weather' theme that we have enjoyed for all of 2019 remained intact. The skies were clear and deep blue for the entire hike, and temperatures were extremely mild for September in the Winds. With clear skies and zero light pollution the stars at night were breathtaking.
For those who have watched my other videos this one is done in the same style – an hour in length, intended to bring the audience along for the 'ride', and with a still picture slide show with music at the end. If you just have a few minutes skip to the end and enjoy the pictures.
Equipment / Gear List:
Still and Video Camera: Nikon Z6 with Nikkor Z-mount 35mm and F-mount 20mm f1.8 lens, and FTZ Adapter
Video Editing Software: Vegas Pro 16
Pack: REI Flash 55L
Shelter: Zpacks Hexamid Solo-Plus
Slide show music - Acoustic Guitar 1 by Jason Shaw, AudioNautix. www.audionautix.com
Carl kept track of our hike using the app GaiaGPS (great free app, by the way). He's made the trip data, tracks, and waypoints public so you can take a look at our trip at:
