The Winds
Wind River Range
Wyoming
The Wind River Range includes more than 40 named peaks over 13,000 feet, including Gannett Peak, Wyoming’s highest at 13,804 feet. Seven of the largest glaciers in the Rocky Mountains are found here, including the single largest glacier in the American Rockies. There are over 1,300 named lakes in the Wind River Range, and the headwaters of the Green River arise here. The Continental Divide crests the Wind River Range’s entire length.
This wilderness is a place to explore when you are young and have plenty of stamina. I was happy just to see the mountains from a distance.
Hope you are enjoying a beautiful weekend. Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.
