This video documents a 3 day backpacking trip through the Wind River Mountains in Wyoming from July 13 through 15, 2021. We started at the Elkhart Park trailhead northeast of Pinedale, Wyoming, and followed the Pole Creek Trail to Photographer's Point where we had our first unobscured view of the entire mountain range. We continued on to Seneca Lake, starting high above the water with spectacular views of the mountains and descending next to the water's edge surrounded by steep cliffs. We made camp on the southwest side of Island Lake near a small pond with our tent situated high above the lake and displaying magnificent views into Titcomb Basin. The next day, we followed the Indian Pass trail into Indian Basin, which was full of beautiful alpine lakes and towering, rugged peaks. We climbed the saddle of Fremont Peak to reveal a spectacular panoramic view of Titcomb Basin and Indian Basin. Climbing down from the Fremont saddle involved some route finding through class 3 terrain and eventually led to the shore of Mistake Lake. We followed Titcomb Basin south next to the Titcomb Lakes, and finally returned to our same camping spot near Island Lake. The last day we backtracked the same trail we came in on. It was an amazing hike with Indian Paintbrush blooming all along the trail and great weather all three days on the trail.
