Climbing up from Iceberg Lake Pass

Yesterday was spectacular and probably my favorite day out here. Today was just about getting out. We had planned on another day but we were all in favor of a shower and a bed.

Of course we had some snow to cross.

Heading to Downs Mountain

Downs Mountain was just a big rockpile and nothing special. Then it was down for 6000 ft.

But first we had No Man’s Pass and Goat Flat to cross. After Goat Flat we joined a trail and then it really was down, down, down to the car and the drive to Dubois.

View from No Man's Pass. We didn't have to go down this.

Goat Flat. The best was not saved for last.

So the Wind River High Route is complete. I plan on posting a gear list and review within the next week or two. Stay tuned. Thanks for following along.
