titcomb basin

I've only got one more annual trip w/ my brother to post, so I figured I'd start adding some of my solo trips. (For now I'm refraining from posting trip reports w/ anyone but my brother, since the others don't post online and I'm not sure how they'd feel about it - maybe in the future.) So...

Backpacking the Winds: From Elkhart TH to Titcomb Basin, July 2018 When my friend Lisa asked me if I wanted to join her to backpack to Titcomb Basin in the Wind River range, I couldn't say no. This was a trip I wanted to do for years. Despite barely being in shape and with all my lung and...

The summer of 2014 saw quite a bit of early season snow in the Winds. I delayed my launch a little and chose an easy start on the Pole Creek Trail. Patchy snow in the trail began not far above the trailhead. Generally I avoid the popular spots even though they are very scenic, but early and...

For the beauty of the earth, for the glory of the skies, for the love which from our birth over and around us lies; For the beauty of each hour of the day and of the night, hill and vale, and tree and flower, sun and moon, and stars of light; For the joy of ear and eye, for the heart and...

Doug and Anita Tour 2014 Wind River Range Wyoming Part 2 It was a beautiful clear night, I know because Anita was outside in the middle of the night, doing whatever girls do in the middle night and she told me so. So I stuck my head outside to check out the beautiful display of stars. Clear...

Doug and Anita Tour 2014 Wind River Range Wyoming Part 1 The drive out was fun. The anticipation always adds to that. We rented a car to avoid the wear of 3000 miles on ours. We had a Ford Focus and it got 37 mpg. Sweet! Stopped at Wall Drug we did our part to keep them in business. Anita...

Here are a few photos from our trip into Titcomb Basin this past August. HomerJ has already posted a great TR so I'll just add a bunch of photos. Enjoy Featured image for home page:

PROLOGUE: Titcomb Basin has been on my "to see" list for a pretty much ever since I started backpacking. So when my buddy called me up and said he's going into Titcomb this year I jumped at the chance! We set it up for Wednesday through Sunday. As things got closer people started to drop out and...
