Feeling more rested it will be time to take one of the passes up and over the continental divide. Most likely Indian pass. We will see glaciers that have been there since the ice age began! Perhaps we can attempt one of the summits? Fremont peak? We will see. Conditions permitting of course. Guy Reams
Wind River Day Three
We will probably explore ticomb basin, one of the many areas carved out by giant glaciers. Guy Reams
WindRiver Day Two
We hope to make one of the lakes at the base of Fremont peak. Most likely Island Lake, but we have a lot to choose from. Guy Reams
WindRiver Day One
We are hiking out the Pole Creek trail and heading to the famous photographers point. Our goal is island lake but I doubt we will make it. Guy
Wind River Range
Twenty eight years ago I stood at the edge of the Bridger Wilderness in Wyoming and look at the sign that said Wind River Range. The majestic view took ones breath away. It looked like if you went any further you would be stepping off the edge of civilization. Well since that time the area […]
Pay for What You Value

As I ascended I started to notice that the rain droplets from the previous evening were still coalesced on the leaves of the bushes and shrub oak. In the reflection of my super bright neon head lamp this created a illuminances […]
Endeering Encounter
I finally got to the crest, after a few hours of running. The sun was just breaking the distant mountains and casting long rays across the pine trees and the silhouette of the ski lift resembled the entrance to an old ore mine shaft. I scrambled down the other side of the mountain, and started […]
Running in Mining Towns
I am not sure why, but running in mining towns is cool. Perhaps it is just the oddity of someone running in neon colored shoes with a headlamp juxtaposed against the legacy of men carrying mining equipment up the same hill 100 or more years ago. Jogging through exotic looking LL Bean and other outfitter […]
Just Start
I have been watching the results come in all day from the Badwater 135 race. This is a running competition where people leave from Badwater basin in the desert below sea level and race up to the top of Whitney Portal trailhead. A work colleague of mine is in the race and it has been […]
