Great video 👍 does you mum have a KZbin channel? 😁 I’m super inspired by her. As life kicks my ass with a life threatening illness, it’s very motivating to see such strong women. My dream is to be fit and do such hikes even when I’m really old and that dream is really getting tested right now. It’s uplifting to see her be ‘a boss’. 👍😊

@JonConti2 жыл бұрын
The hunger out there is no joke! 😂It's not like I stop and have lunch and most of the time I don't even eat breakfast. It's like two granola bars & coffee for 12 miles with a pack through that place. I just went with some guys on a 26-mile and one guy from Austria was with us. He would stop and cook full on meals on the trail and the rest of us looked at him like "what are doing?" He was like "In the Alps we eat constantly." It's like o ya, we're the crazy ones. 😀

Well made! I often tire of people talking a lot on hiking videos but you are so handsome and entertaining I enjoy it. Here is a tip for the only flaw in your film. Put a yellow postit note on your gopro lens and focus your eyes on it. You were always looking to the left. Other than that, it was first rate. I am subscribing. I do videos myself... not hiking though. I do talks.

I've backpacked and camped in the Winds a number of times with my brother and my cousin. Before that I attended the Wind River Wilderness Camp when I was in Jr. High School many years ago. My understanding is that there are Grizzly Bears in the northern part of the Winds, is this true? Or are they only further north towards Jackson Hole and Yellowstone?

I have floated it but never hiked it. Great place for early season hike. Did you try fishing for small mouth bass at all?
@JonConti2 жыл бұрын
How did you float it that sounds rad! Just float the green river? I didn't try fishing for bass, only trout. I don't really have a bass setup yet.
@roddines83292 жыл бұрын
@@JonConti I am in McCall Idaho and a bunch of us have our own rafts. It is a permit system during the summer but we usually float it late Sept or early October after permit season. 4 days usually from the dam to Pittsburg Landing. Couple class 3-4 and several class 3-2 rapids. The Small mouth bass fly fishing is awesome. There are several outfitters that you can go with as well.

Thanks for sharing! Spent a summer back in college studying in Laramie, and fortunate to do a 40-day backpacking trip in the Winds. Hardest thing I've ever done physically and mentally, but one of the most rewarding. The wind river range is no joke - unmatched beauty and can go days without seeing anyone in certain areas.
@JonConti2 жыл бұрын
Ya they're tough. Hardest one I've done so far. On the 4th day crossing Hailey Pass the wind was lifting my Mom, steep drops on the side of her. I didn't capture it too well because I needed my hands. Ended up taking some stuff off her and tying a rope around each other. It was rough. But super fun too!!! 😂 You understand.

Wow! What beautiful way to document the adventure you & your mom had while hiking the Wind River Range. Agree! This is some of the most spectacular nature scenery in the US! Great job capturing it! Enjoyed the sunset to astrophotography. This area is definitely on the top of our must hike list. Found your channel while visiting Idaho a few weeks ago. Watched your Alice Lake video prior to hiking it and found it to be helpful in knowing what to expect. Thank you! 👍

Jon! I’m such a fan, love your videos, but this one by far is my fave. The Cirque was my very first backpacking trip. Ever. And came to it right after moving from sea level (Olympia) to Laramie. Go big or go home, right? Yes, my friend. The wind. Holy crap the wind. That was almost 30 years ago, but after watching your video we are so doing this this year. And oh yeah, the bears. Thanks for all your inspiration. Hope to see you on a trail or somewhere around town- Boise is home now. Cheers!

I think we had "good" weather? It's all relative up there. We only had rain once, but the wind was wild. I assume that's normal since they're named the Wind River Range.

Linked the south buttress of Pingora with the wolfs head traverse last year. Best trip of the year. I always tell people that even if you don't climb, this place is worth seeing. Part of what makes it great is the commitment it takes to get there. Mostly only people who love nature go out there and because of that you don't have to see trash on the ground and swarms of people.
