3 day backpacking trip in Wyomings Wind River Range. Next video is a backpacking trip in Idaho's Lost River Range.

Been hiking the Winds for 5 decades, beautiful climbing there as well. Good rock.

Great video, beautiful Timelapse, thank you for sharing

[@garygreenfield5969]

Beautiful views. Now I see why they call in the *wind* river range. Love the time lapse videos. Thanks for taking us along.

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Very nice! You guys had the mosquitoes a lot worse than what I just experienced. You are right about the epicness of The Winds. Well done on the video. That camera has an awesome zoom capability. Lacey is quite the angler!

[@NorthwestWanderer]

Yeah we didn't have a good mosquito run this july. Winds we got ate up. The beartooths we got ate up. The lake chelan-sawtooths in Washington were so bad we actually hiked back out on day 1 haha. I got a good video from Libby Lake in the chelan-sawtooths of 100+ mosquitos swarming lacey

[@cjjt66]

Excellent video. Great shots. Thank you for the captions. Great narration. I love that you had NO music during all your shots--I love to hear the wind, water & footsteps. Keep up the good work!

[@richardpontius8210]

Usually August has fewer mosquitos, the later in August the fewer mosquitos.

[@NorthwestWanderer]

Sorry for the shaky timelapses. The Winds were windy and it was hard to anchor the tripod down because of it.

[@travelclimb]

The wind is definitely part of the experience there from what I have heard. Great video though!! Looking forward to your other trips

[@NorthwestWanderer]

@@travelclimb true that! Wish the wind lasted a bit longer actually... damn mosquitoes lol

[@travelclimb]

So scenic! That was my plan this summer, but I haven’t even been able to head to glacier peak trails or the n. Cascades. But, I’m just telling myself, that I’ll have next summer and the mountains will always be here.

[@DuctTapeADK]

Excellent job. Brought back memories of my two trips.

[@mhammann57]

Spectacular! Nice and slow pans interspersed with stills. Allows viewers time to soak in the awesome views. Also love the technique of looking off to side while moving at 17:20 instead of typical straight ahead view. Thanks for taking us along! Mark

[@HoopesJohnC]

I envy that you had good conditions - last summer I was in the same spot and was socked in with smoke. Really sucked. Excellent footage!

[@coniferousforests8030]

amazing but a bit to exposed for my liking for sure as I was just imagining myself doing similar hike... mmm no I need my trees =DD beautiful regardless. Thank you for delivering on your promises when a month ago you told us to stick around while you are travelling way out there and have no much access to wifi)) we are here.

[@HoopesJohnC]

Lots of trees on the way there and where you camp.

[@rogercain5837]

Beautiful photos great video what camera are you using

[@NorthwestWanderer]

I carry two cameras that I've acquired over a long period of time (haha). For video I used the Sony AX53 (bought this year) been super impressed with it and it's durability. For the time lapse and photography I use a Nikon D7200 (I bought in 2017).

[@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.

[@rcz2023]

Beautiful views ❤️

[@kyledriesse]

What time of year did you hike this?

[@MultiTestPage]

Can you tell me what bait Lacy used to catch the fish pls? I'll be there in 3 weeks. Thx

[@NorthwestWanderer]

don't know the name but it was a leech lookin thing

[@kimrobb1965]

great video! what month was this...mosquitos looked brutal :(

[@wanttogo1958]

He mentioned in the vlog that it was early July. I have heard that if you want to avoid the worst mosquito hatches in the Winds, it's best not to hike there during July.

[@jenb.6440]

I love this video; we're planning on doing a similar trip next week and watching this was inspirational; thank you! Beautiful camera work; I feel your timing and pans are perfect, I appreciate how long you hold on a shot and your choices of when to zoom in and out and especially your timelapse; great job, beautiful video!

[@cynthiaforcade1429]

The winds are truly beautiful. We avoided the mosquitoes with a Sept trip. I felt bad for Lacey.

[@robertwagner7867]

Another outstanding video and thank you for sharing! I've done a little packing and have always used Cutter's to stave off the mosquitoes. They're still there but they don't land on you. After seeing Lacy it was a reminder how relentless they can be!

[@MoutainGuyAdventures]

Excellent video. I hope to be there next month. New sub. 👍

[@brookeshaffer4377]

STUNNING!!! Poor wifey all bit up😞Nice work🌟

[@gingerkid-mk4ku]

going over this video to get a idea of what I'm hiking going there next week

[@yoseman]

I was wondering what kind of camera gear you use?.....your videos are AMAZING!

[@NorthwestWanderer]

thanks! For video I use a Sony AX-53 and for the timelapses I use my Nikon D7200 (what I used to use to film). It's a heavy set up to lug around but I lack the intelligence to care.

[@ryan_steele_mcginnis]

Love your videos

[@NorthwestWanderer]

thank you!

[@wellseasonedhiker]

That was a lot of mosquito bits. No deet???

[@NorthwestWanderer]

never works for us

[@wellseasonedhiker]

@@NorthwestWanderer Well, that sucks. I've had great success with Jungle Juice - 100% Deet. I try to avoid it - obviously chemicals isn't something I'm excited to use but when it comes to clouds of squito's - yeah, works super well... for me. BTW: great video. I'm looking forward to getting into the Winds next year.

[@NorthwestWanderer]

@@wellseasonedhiker Over the past few years we've found out our best luck is pre-treating clothing with premethin and just showing as little skin as possible. Thanks. I hope you have an enjoyable trip in the winds!
