Wind River Range Wyoming, Green River Lakes to Vista Pass

- This video documents my hike in the Wind River Range from Green River Lakes Trailhead to Vista Pass, where I spent the night. Per my GPS, 16.5 miles. My original plan was to stop at Three Forks and then hike to Island Lake the next day. I decided to to get to Vista Pass in the first day to get some of the 3000 feet of elevation gain up to Shannon Pass out of the way on day one (about 2000 ft.). I think it was a better plan because I don't think I would have made it to Island Lake from Three Forks the second day. An even better plan would have been to do it in three days. In any event a tough but great day. I definitely recommend staying at Vista Pass. It really is beautiful up there. I hope you enjoy the video.
Simply beautiful. The filming IN the river just WOW!! Love your filming and editing, your photos, your 360 view at the end too. Everything about this video is amazing! Thank you for sharing. 🏞🏕💜💜
Thanks a lot! Glad you like it!
Thank you for sharing your EPIC journey. I loves the Winds but haven't explorer this area because of the road conditions. Looks like you carry a heavy pack with all your cameras and equipment.
Enjoyed seeing this scenery...again...through your lens. Nice camera work and video editing! I visited the same area in late July/early August of '21. Looks like you had better luck with the weather and the smoke than I did.
I've watched my fair share of hiking videos - especially The Winds. Your concise, fantastic, no nonsense editing, and I don't generally like the music as loud as you mixed it, captured the essence of the hike. Brings me back to my time there, albeit never made it to Vista Pass, just Three Forks and did the Slide Lake & Clear Lake hikes from campsite, both outstanding day trips. Plan to loop Gannet from Green Lakes via High Line some day with off trail lake explorations down the road.
Thank you kindly.
Super PS We're doing Island Lake from Pole Creek TH next week. Driving in from MN, with plenty of sightseeing along the way. The Winds are captivating and deserve the attention for sure. Someday folks will also realize how the even more beautifully intimidating, larger in area, and less hiked Absarokas continue to be less traveled (Yellowstone, Tetons, Winds n Beartooths draw the attention away) - maybe a good thing for now.
Thanks so much for your comments! The Winds no question my favorite place on earth. Last year and this I had to force myself to see some other areas but will definitely be back. Island Lake and Titcomb Basin are incredible!Have fun!
What a great video! Was just there beautiful area
Thanks Scott. I spent a week in the southern part last week. Love the place.
I've enjoyed some great hikes in Wyoming but not the Wind River Range -- yet! Beautiful pictures/video and makes me even more eager to get out there myself! Thanks for posting this!
Thanks Anne, my pleasure. I love Wind River Range. Heading back to the south end next summer and can’t wait.
Been out this trail twice after camping in my van at The Narrows CG. Caught some nice rainbows about a mile out from the lake. Heading out again in 2023. Just love the Winds. Im from Vermont. The Green Mountains here are wonderful but too many flatlanders. The San Juan’s in Colorado, Big Horns in Wyoming and Hungry Horse, Montana are my three go to areas.
Hello John. We have similar backpacking tastes. I love the San Juans as well. Thinking about heading back there next year since it’s been a few too many years.
Would love to see some awesome hikes and places in Montana, one of my favorite states to do road trips. The drive through the mountains from Missoula to Spokane, WA was beyond breathtaking. As well as exploring Oregon. Will definitely check out Hungry Horse next time I visit Montana. Thanks for your comment 💜 🏞 💜
Absolutely gorgeous. But then is there anywhere in Wyoming that isn't gorgeous?!
You ever been to Rawlins? Haha
Nice vid.
Thanks!
Beautiful area.
Wow, the air is so clear. I went about a month after you and sometimes you could not see Squaretop and other times you could barely see it from the smoke. I posted a video as well but I went a different way. I like your photos and some of the angles you video'd. Nice job.
Thanks Chad for the nice comments. I went the year before and had a similar experience with smoke.
Yes it is. I love the Wind River Range.
What's the name of that square mountain/butte? Great video btw.
Thanks Russell. You almost had it. It’s called Squaretop Mountain.
Thanks for sharing! I also make hiking videos and I'm headed there this June! What time of year were you there?
My pleasure! Thanks for watching! Late August. I’m not going this year so I haven’t checked the snow levels there. You may want to check. June can be hit or miss with snow. I use the Snotel site.
What song did you use in the beginning?
Hello Joel. It’s Venetian Blinds by Mattias Tell. I downloaded it from Epidemic Sound.
Great song ❤
