 Click to enlargeThe Wind Rivers are a beautiful and dramatic no matter which entrance you choose. With a good map, boots that fit and plenty of food & water you really can't go wrong. The Southern Winds are famous for the Cirque of the Towers and the countless backcountry climbing routes that are found not only in the Cirque, but also on lesser known peaks such as Haystack, the Steeple Peaks and the Cathedral Cirques. Equally popular are backpacking excursions to Big Sandy Lake, the Stough Creek Basin, Wind River Peak and many others. The Red Desert to the south provides unspoiled vistas and spectacular sand dunes, as well as the opportunity of a chance encounter with a herd of wild horses.
