Green River Lakes Loop | Bridger Wilderness, Wyoming

[@5wheels521]

Just WOW!, ,,,, Amazingly Beautiful 🥰 ,,,,,, Full of gorgeous scenery. The cinematography was excellent...... left me in an Omgosh euphoria 💕 My constant dialect was,,, "It's So Beautiful" 😍 "Definitely off the hook! 😉" ....... A moose! A moose! A moose is on the loose 😆

[@mountainwanderer]

It was truly beautiful! As good as it might look on the screen, its way better in person!

[@aaronfulwider779]

The Winds are gorgeous. Those dogs look like they are having the times of their lives but whooped at the end of the day. Just like us in a way. Very cool to see them enjoy the wilderness.

[@mountainwanderer]

I've only taken 2 trips into the Winds, but it was enough to hook me for life! Can't wait to get back this year and explore more of it!

[@aaronfulwider779]

Next year is my year for the Winds. With no woman to follow the world is all mine...I love none so well as I love the moonshine. That last day with you drinking coffee and the scenery was a friggin Folgers coffee commercial...damn. That last fish was a monster....nothing beats a fresh cooked campfire fish...cooked in ALUMINUM. Beautiful video of the Winds.

[@mountainwanderer]

Thank you, my friend! I would love it if you came down there with us!

[@jacqueline7118]

What a magnificent trip! The scenery you captured was so beautiful, your camera work outstanding! Thanks so much to all who took the time to film the adventure and to share it with us. :) :)

[@mountainwanderer]

Thank you for taking the time to watch!

[@ChristianPaulPhotography]

Awesome! I love the Winds! 9 days in the Winds is awesome! Nice fish on Day 8! I need to make it back up there! I was gonna try this year but the Uinta Highline Trail took up my extended trip this year. You guys had some great camps! Another awesome video! Thanks for bringing us along! CP 👍👍

[@mountainwanderer]

That is funny, because while we were there, we were talking about the Highline Trail (great series of yours btw!). We're hoping to do that soon before it gets too tough for me to do. (they might've been calling me old)

[@ChristianPaulPhotography]

Thank you so much! It was a adventure of a lifetime! You should totally do the Uinta Highline Trail! I’m 49 and did it this year! If you need a gpx file or my food prep list please let me know. You guys would kill it out there! I did not even know that the Winds had a Porcupine Pass as well. I’m hoping to do it again in 2024. I have a different starting point in mind. You guys are seriously one of my favorite channels on KZbin! If you are headed to the Uintas hit me up!

[@mountainwanderer]

We'll have a couple Unitas videos coming out soon (I didn't go on these trips). it's been a couple years since I've been there and I am missing it terribly.

The Winds are incredible! There's no other way to put it. Great backpacking with top notch scenery!

Amazing country and looked like a really good time. Those were some passes you climbed. Nice pack of dogs and some wildlife added in. Thanks for the video and take care, Al

There is so much amazing country there, and so much more to explore!

[@mcspin50]

Oh my gosh! What a breathtakingly beautiful area! I can see how the climbs up to high elevation affect the humans. How do the dogs do? Always love the music you play to accompany your journeys.

[@mountainwanderer]

Thank you! Our dogs seem to do just fine crossing over the passes. They still seem to have plenty of energy by the time we get to camp to keep playing while we set up camp. I can't say that I have that much energy when we get to camp!

All kinds of incredible scenery and majestic views. I think my favorite, though, was at 27:26. Wow! But I hate to call some of the others second. Favorite part of your trip was THE ZERO! Love taking a zero at a great campsite. Especially after 5 tough days of hiking. Good Job! Bridger Wilderness scratches me right where I itch......! Tom

[@mountainwanderer]

The Winds are quickly turning into one of my favorite places! Picking just one view is a tough job!

[@blackoakpropertymaintenanc6981]

@@mountainwanderer A few years ago I was boondocking in Brdger-Teton, thinking about heading over to Pinedale and going backpacking in that area when a couple rangers stopped by and encouraged me to check out some trails right where I was. Ended up doing a four nighter with spectacular views and tons of solitude. It was around McDougal pass in an area approximately between Big Piney and Alpine, WY. , if'n u want to check on a map. Definitely on my "to do" list to get back there.

[@mountainwanderer]

My buddy Joey has told me that the Teton Wilderness is one of the wildest places he's ever been... and he has been a few places. Definitely an area I want to look into further!

[@pilowespo]

What a amazing hike! Your zero day spot looked epic. Thanks for sharing. Hike on!

[@mountainwanderer]

It was an amazing campsite for our zero! I feel like I didn't even capture the little beach we had. I highly recommend the Winds!

[@ursinidaho]

This was the best video I have seen. It is hard to compare but this was full of Dogs, sweeping vistas, really good Dogs, beautiful meadows, and hiking with the Dogs! You really filmed this well and it was so enjoyable to watch! Thank you for taking the time to film.all.of this beauty. It is so worth it to see it later.

[@mountainwanderer]

[@zachb8012]

I grew up in Jackson. Spent a lot of time in this wilderness. Feasted on many a brook trout from those high mountain lakes. Clearest memory I have of the area was parting some willows trying to get down to the creek, only to be greeted eye-to-eye with a massive bull moose who could've stomped me where I stood. I quietly backed up into the bush and we went our separate ways.

[@mountainwanderer]

What an incredible place to call home! I love those mountains! In my experiences, you really have to catch the moose at the wrong time to be in trouble (I suppose that is the same with all wildlife). I just jad my own run in with a moose, but that is a different story

[@chadroberts44]

We went there the prior year and the smoke was so bad you couldn't see Square Top most of the time. You got some awesome shots!

[@mountainwanderer]

That is too bad about your trip. I've had those too. Went to Holland Lake in the Bob Marshall and never once got a view because of the smoke. Green River Lakes is worth another trip though! Thanks for checking it out!

[@vs123]

Awesome view very beautiful

[@mountainwanderer]

The Wind Rivers are hard to beat!

[@thathikingguy]

Bro incredible trip! Outrageous views and nature loved it!

[@mountainwanderer]

I highly recommend making the pilgrimage to the Wind Rivers. I've only been there twice, but both trips were epic!

[@BryanDeLay]

Great video of a great loop Travis. I've done this exact loop once and a similar loop another time, although both times I went clockwise. Never been brave enough to go up Porcupine Pass counter clockwise. I've camped at your first campsite twice and it's really nice. Also I've camped at the site you passed up at 37:22. Great view looking down on New Fork Park at 19:01, which is really nice too. I was in the Winds about this time in August. Did two trips, but only videoed the first trip: Jackass Pass - Texas Pass Loop. Really enjoyed this video!

[@mountainwanderer]

I'll be honest Bryan, I was thinking of you when we were there! I felt like we might cross paths on trail! Seems like everyone must do this loop clockwise... but we're against the grain kind of folks. Initially we were going to a long loop and go down towards New Fork Park more, but that just leaves more unexplored country for next time!

[@reneepowell8541]

Great video Travis! My husband and I were just up there about 3 weeks ago and had a truly epic time! Plans to return next summer, the Winds have really captured our hearts!

[@mountainwanderer]

Fantastic! Did you do a similar route when you were there? We have no solid plans for another trip next year, but I know that we are coming back next season as well!

[@reneepowell8541]

@@mountainwanderer we only hiked day hikes from the Green River Lakes trailhead this time, as it was our first visit there and we aren’t familiar with what to expect trail wise and weather wise.

I agree with @ursinidaho - beautiful scenery and light. More dogs than usual! I'd like to know more about them. that cute mostly black shepherd who always seems to have a stick in it's mouth, ready to play. And Timber with his funny tipped ears and un-sheperd-like face. I can always tell it's him, even from a long distance, by the way he holds his tail, waving back and forth like a flag! Best wishes to all the dogs and...oh yeah...to the hikers, too! Thank you for sharing another wonderful hiking trip.

[@mountainwanderer]

That black shepherd is obsessed with sticks! I'm not even sure that that even describes how much that dog loves sticks. He goes from sun up to sun down and would chase sticks all day!

[@falconmoose5435]

At 35;37. Yes, a moose will give one pause. LOL! Great work on the editing.

[@mountainwanderer]

Welcome to the channel! Thanks for coming along with us!

[@BackpackerDiaries]

Nicely done, we considered this same area this past August (15th). With limited time we instead decided to start from New Fork Lakes TH over Double Top Mountain to Palmer Lake then completing the loop as a 2 day/1 night loop via Palmer Canyon. I wonder if we were in the Wind River Range at the same time? You've got a new sub in Utah! Thanks for sharing :)

[@mountainwanderer]

That is funny, we were absolutely there on Aug 15th. That would been day 3 for us. Our original route had us going up Palmer Canyon, but we changed it for a shorter route. Had we not changed it, there was a good chance we would've ran into each other!

[@wade2361]

Great video! I am confused around that @7:35 mark. I've never had a shepherd (looks like 4 of them)...do they really just walk down the trail like that? I have pointers and that would be a miracle. A very nice miracle.

[@mountainwanderer]

Ha! A couple of the shepards were pretty new to backpacking and the other two had many years experience. But the new ones, just picked it up from the experienced ones. On trail it's about hiking, but once we stop they'll roam around a bit.

That is an incredible place! I haven't done the Towers yet, but I'll get there at some point. That is not a hammock tent, it is just a tarp. It's the super fly tarp from Warbonnet Outdoors.

Thanks for a bit of great familiar scenery! And thanks for treating me to some views I missed seeing last year on my failed attempt to do the same loop. Looks like you and BD were in the Winds about the same time in August. Curious why y'all did the loop counterclockwise rather than clockwise from the trailhead?

[@mountainwanderer]

I didn't put this route together, so I'm not sure why they decided to go in that way. Actually the route we ended up doing wasn't what was planned out before we started. We changed it after the first day beat us up.
