Not sure why it's listed like this. I went as far as I could in my Jeep, then off-trail to the lake above Moon, down to Moon, over to Simpson, Deadhorse, etc.

Amazing views on this hike. Everything from Carter to the Beartooth, and Heart Mountain to Pilot. Only took a star off because the trail is hard to follow in places and you need to be able to figure out where you are.

It was rather warm and steep but what grand views and beautiful scenery in every direct. Worth taking a quick little walk down The Glacier Trail to the bridge to view a magnificent waterfall. Will be doing it again but will start earlier in the morning to avoid noonday sun

About 3 miles to Tomahawk Lake and then another mile or so to Upper Silas Lake. The left fork on the saved hike is a decent route to Tomahawk.

This is a great hike. Not too hard, but reasonably strenuous. Around this time of year the wildflowers are in spectacular bloom.

This is one of the best short hikes in the
Wind River Range, in terms of accessibility, beauty, and payoff at the end. Fairly steep (+1000 ft over 2.5 miles) but otherwise straight forward. Torrey Creek Dinwoody-style petroglyphs on the way to the trailhead are a bonus.

One of the prettier hikes I’ve ever been on. Alpine meadows, beautiful lakes and mountain scenery. Relatively easy hike as well...only steep in a few parts.

For anyone who loves those jagged alpine peaks, this section of our hike passing through the Cirque of the Towers is spectacular. We were there 2 days after a September snow storm and therefore hiked mostly in snow, with no track from Lonesome Lake to Texas Pass. With good weather and paying attention to the map and terrain, it was easy enough to make it to the pass, although deep snow adds some adventure and extra fatigue. It also adds to the beauty of the landscape.

There was a fire in this area awhile back so there are not a lot of trees for shade. We went August 3rd and it was hot. You don’t get close to the NF Shoshone river for about 5 miles but you can see it the whole way. The path is a bit rocky off n on. There were several different kinds of flowers in bloom. A few small streams of water coming out of the mountain to cross but nothing you would have to take your shoes off for. Beautiful mountains all around with quite a bit of new trees coming up but just to hot at this time of year.
