Hiking the Wind Rivers

From August 12-20th I'm going to be in Wyoming, backpacking through the Wind River range.

Mostly I just wanted to post this picture of what the Wind Rivers look like:

AMAZING.

See more photos at Flickr.

My itinerary looks something like this:
August 12 - fly into Denver, head up to WY
August 13 - rock climbing in WY with Ritchie & co.
August 14-19 - backpacking! taking mad lots of photographs!
August 20 - some more climbing, maybe some recuperating
August 21 - fly home

I've never even been to Wyoming. My friend Ritchie has family out there, and he's spent some time backpacking in this region before - so they know the best sights to see and the most challenging-but-not-insane routes to take. I'm so excited - I'm packing my bags this weekend!
