I don't know much about the Wind Rivers, let alone early season road conditions. Looking to head out there for some light hiking and sight seeing this summer or late fall. I would prefer when there are snow capped mountains.
In the Uintas there's usually a 2-3 week window in June (varies depending on snow pack and summer conditions) where trails in the 9000-10,500ft range are clear/dry but the mountains are snow capped and the bugs haven't come out in full force yet. I'd love to hit a similar window in the Winds.
Our route will take us to Green River Lakes to hike around, and then we'll drive over Union Pass, see Gunsight Pass, and then over to Hwy 26.
General idea of when these roads are passable? June? Early July? Looks like max elevation is up there at 10,200 ft.
We'll be driving built Toyota 4runners on 33" AT tires so fairly capable but nothing crazy.
