| partners | | I met up with John in Jackson Wyoming for a three day backpack into the Cirque of Towers in the Wind River Range. We completed this hike the day before our backpack. The Green River Lakes Trailhead is a pretty spectacular place to start a hike with a large scenic lake and some pretty stunning mountains as a backdrop.
The hike was easy and the trail was in excellent shape. The majority of the trail offered expansive views of the surrounding mountains while paralleling a raging Clear Creek. The Natural Bridge was a worthy destination and a very cool geological feature. The water was running high and fast under the bridge which may have also contributed to some of the awe. After a quick break and a couple of pictures, we headed back to the trailhead. We thought about a hike up to Slide Lake and falls, but the bridge was out and the creek looked a little swift for a safe ford. I returned a week later and made the ford, but it was nearly waist high and a tough ford. |
