Traversing the Wind River Range

Tanja and her friend David crossed the Wind Rivers on foot in August of 2022. They started at the Green Lakes and exited at Big Sandy, covering about 86 miles. Despite the long drive (14 hours), climbing a wrong pass, a moose in camp, a run-in with a “bear”, and daily rain showers, the Wind Rivers climbed to the top of her favorite mountain ranges.
