NOLS course, Wind River Portion





I finished my NOLS course about 10 days ago. It was a lot of fun, but unfortunately it doesn't look like I am going to be hired this summer. The first 18 days of the course consisted of a backpacking trip in the northern portion of the Wind River Range. The Winds are a beautiful range in central WY on the Continental Divide, the highest in the state. It was a long trip time wise, but we didn't go particularly far due to the snowy conditions and the large number of layover days that were devoted to classes and rest. Although I would have liked to see more of the range, I loved being in the wilderness again. Here are some pictures from the backpacking portion.
