Boy did that bring back some good memories. It's been almost 30 years since my first view of the Cirque of the Towers from the edge of Bear's Ears Plateau. Nice to see it again, and still makes my jaw drop!

[@jessewigent9776]

Keep making videos like this and you’re going to be HUGE! I will definitely be watching more. Well done sir!

[@BackcountryTreks]

Walking poles are useful when crossing the river :) Have been thinking of starting using them but haven't got round to it yet. Well filmed and edited vid..and interesting to watch.

[@BackcountryTreks]

Thanks! I’d be screwed with out them for certain river crossings. Also I need them to pitch my tent. Thanks for watching!

[@nathanbremer7981]

"At this view i'd shit too!" had me laughing soo hard

[@JohnGWalker]

You are good!

[@mikewanders]

Awesome video. You always have well placed music. Might steal your coffee method lol

[@BackcountryTreks]

Hey thanks for watching! Instant coffee isn’t great but it works on trail. 👍 I am kind of a coffee snob.

[@mikewanders]

@@BackcountryTreks it just seems so much easier than what I do. And on a rainy morning, easiest is prob best.

[@BackcountryTreks]

@@mikewanders it’s as lightweight as it gets too.

[@ChrisGrahamWeb]

What tent did you use on this trip?

[@BackcountryTreks]

[@rmoran113]

Going back to winds in few weeks!!

[@BackcountryTreks]

Have fun!

[@Arbitrage69]

What kind of tent are you using? (No bug netting?)

[@BackcountryTreks]

[@Arbitrage69]

@@BackcountryTreks thank you

[@adventurelifewithbob2960]

I enjoyed your video! Our family has been going to the Wind Rivers and the Green River Lakes since the 1940's. I made a video describing my family's history with this beautiful area of the world.

[@BackcountryTreks]

Thanks! It’s an amazing place for sure! That’s a cool family history. I’ll be sure to check it out🍻
