Backpacking the Wind River Range | Titcomb Basin | Seneca Lake | Island Lake

In this video I set out on a 3 night/4 day trip with Bryan Delay in Wyoming's Wind River Range. It winds up being a 4 night/5 day trip. Watch to find out why we extend our trip. I am blown away by the majesty and beauty of this area. It is an absolutely stunning backpack!

Hiked this trail in ‘77. Incredible views, altitude headache first day, and the largest mosquitos I’ve ever seen during the early miles.

[@dorcaspowellpowell5971]

The beauty of those majestic mountains gives me eyes the water works.

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Awe... ❤️❤️

[@marleneburrows6725]

I am so glad you got to meet up with your friend. It was a beautiful journey.

[@garybromberger4044]

in a comment you mentioned an extremely important point that literally could change the overall backpacking experience by raising the "pleasure/enjoyment meter" several levels on any trip . . . in planning a trip and if you have the time, why not "take the time to smell the roses" . . . why do a 36 mile hike in 4 days @ 9 mile per day when the same trip could be done over 6 days @ 6 miles per day . . . RESULT: more time for quality photography (the point you made), more time to stop and take in the majesty of the surroundings, more time for camp set-up and campfire camaraderie, more rest, more time for morning coffee and not having to constantly push ahead where the focus of the day becomes reaching the campsite destination in time:)

[@bigjim1327]

Just when I think your videos couldn't get better....WOW!

[@platinumtaterbug]

Been to the Winds only once and we did this exact same trail. I remember it like it was yesterday though it was going on 30 years ago now. Incredible!

[@garygoldsmith9844]

Speechless!

[@marianfrances4959]

wow!! you are right, there are no words to describe that beauty. thanks for sharing....

[@FirstSuiGeneris]

_When you feel emotional, it means, you're connected with Mother Earth and all of her beauty. She understands that no words are needed, it's you being one with your surroundings... and nature doesn't lie, and Mother Earth feels your emotions while being one with you. I love that feeling I get from her, and it does warm this warrior's heart too! My opinion this is how it is supposed to be for all humans._

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Love that!

[@seang3576]

Another Amazing video, glad that you continue to enjoy. The Smile you have tells the story. Hope you continue to enjoy.

[@billkrause4585]

[@OneEyeHikes]

I did this same route in 2017! Your hiking partner was a huge help and influence via his videos! So pretty, I actually had to fight tears at times. Special range for sure!

[@jasonmears4393]

All i got to say is Wow....just stunning scenery...wow!!!

[@sonora108]

Having hiked most of the John Muir Trail and Whitney I really thought nothing would ever stand up to the beauty of the JMT but this is close if not more so in several areas. Catherine your photography is outstanding on this one. When you said how much you were moved by your surrounding I totally understand, there is something magical that happens when you are up in the high country.

[@henryd12341]

...because we can, cheers to that :). Inspiring video , thanks Cat. Happy Trails

[@northtexaspatriot7774]

WOW! Very Majestic Views! That Will Stay in Memory For a Very Long Time!

[@buffalobob2002]

I was unfamiliar with that area. I haven't seen anywhere more beautiful. You did a terrific job capturing it. Thank you for bringing me alone.

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Thank you and thanks for coming along!

[@InSurrealtime]

It reminds me of The Sequoia & Kings Canyon high country. So awesome!

[@Mrspecter007]

Catherine. I'm an adventure nut as well. Your videos are very inspiring as many others out there. I wish one day I can quit the job and just live as free as you. That's how free I feel when I ride my motorcycle and soar with the eagles. Live that dream cat and continue to be free. God bless.

[@karenwilliams1458]

Just a beautiful trip. I have to see that place now. I watch Bryan's videos too and he seems like a great guy to hike with. You just raised the bar now Catherine, that video will be hard to top.

[@WildWestTrail]

[@mitchgillilan]

Everyone needs to do this in their life, especially now with this pandemic. I feel that being out in nature is the answer for so many of humanity's problems. this place looks inspiring to say the least. thanks for sharing it with us. I have no words to describe the beauty of this planet, and exploring it in person is even more mesmerizing!

[@waymanbell]

Love hiking the Wind Rivers!

[@johng.4959]

Serenity! Amazing how it must have felt to not see cars and motor boats and trash all over. These areas need to be preserved forever. Truly heaven on Earth! Thank you so much! 😉

[@doubleagle1turtle2]

Living a dream. Go girl! 🐕🐕🚴‍♂️

[@caroljohnson4321]

Absolutely the most spectacular scenery I've ever seen! Thank you for sharing and having this channel.

[@mikelowrie4641]

So nice too see you again Katherine 🤗🤗🤗

[@Radnally]

Great stuff. I just hiked the Pine River trail in Colorado's San Juan mountains. Really beautiful.

[@klouism1]

:This video is absolutely brilliant. Such great views wonderful photography. Thank you for taking us along. Wishing you safe travels and many more fun Adventures.

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Thank you so much! Might be my favorite trip if the season thus far.

[@LaCatLady]

If God made anything more beautiful, He kept it for himself, lol. Glad He let you share it with us. Many thanks, Catherine and company.

[@hughsnyder891]

Beautiful area 😊

[@mobiltec]

I had three trips in the Sierras set up for this summer but the moquitos kept me away from all three trips. They are about as bad or worse this year than they have ever been in my memory. You now you are starting to acquire a more out-doorsie look to yourself. I like it!

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Ah man! That's too bad. They have caused me to bail quickly in the Sierra on previous trips. My look is called no shower in 5 days. lol hahaaa :)

[@siouxcarroll3694]

For a variety of reasons, we couldn’t take our yearly vacations in 2019, so your videos have been a godsend to me. It’s the next best thing to being there!

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Sioux Carroll so glad you can enjoy the outdoors vicariously through the videos.

[@kennethsaukas7971]

This is probably your best video yet. I particularly liked all the flowers and the chipmunk! Live your dream! Real emotion comes through you and your hiking buddies.

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

kenneth saukas thanks so much. I like this one too.

[@robster985]

Absolutely incredible!! and what a small world. Haven't done more than a few 1 nighters yet, just out and back, but this vid is so inspiring and so beautiful. You really raised the bar. Thanks for sharing. Breathtaking!

[@ronaldrose7593]

Hello Catherine, you never cease to amaze. Every time I see one of your videos, I automatically press the Like button, because I know that I am going to be treated another awesome video. Thank you so much for sharing this award winning video. Be safe out there. Keep the bear spray and the Deet handy. The very best to you out there on the trail. 🤗

[@coopdeville5036]

Excellent! So many people see these views on calendars and screen shots. Thinking they would want to go there, not realizing that they can't be seen from their car window. You have to put forth the effort and do the work. Get inspired , folks get off the couch, before you are to grounded in your ways and get moving !

[@arleenibarra7637]

Beautiful ... It cries out the love of God and it praises Him too. 💙

[@pianomoverr]

God always get to be responsible for the good stuff. What a maroon

[@TrekkerPat]

Amen Arleen, I was thinkin' the same.

[@adventureswithLK]

@@TrekkerPat I was also thinking the same thing. Amen

[@billmitchell7731]

@@pianomoverr Because GOD is responsible.

[@WasatchWill]

Beautiful stuff! For all the people that allegedly head up into that area, I'm impressed you all were able to get the campsites you did and still find what appeared to be an abundant supply of wood for burning. It seems like the more popular areas typically have all their deadfall pretty much picked clean making it hard to have a fire, when they are even still allowed in such areas.

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Thank you for watching! We got very lucky with the campsites and there wasn’t a wood at Island Lake. We had to do some searching for sure.

[@audyitter9637]

Your description of feeling the energy of the mountains resonates. I hope it inspires others to seek out that level of connection. Beautiful video.

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Audy Itter Thank you!
