Me, my dad, my brothers and my uncle Josh recently took a backpacking trip to the Wind Rivers in Wyoming. Packing a 40-lb pack a couple thousand feet uphill may not sound like very much fun, but the amazing views at the top are worth every step. We camped at a few lakes, including Diamond, Big Sandy, and Black Joe Lake. We spent a lot of time fishing and went on a couple of day hikes. The highlight of the trip was a grueling day hike to Jackass pass (we soon discovered that the name describes anyone who thinks they're up for the challenge) which overlooks the Cirque of the Towers, a semicircle of enormous granite peaks that make for a breathtaking view. Overall, the trip was a success considering that the fishing was great, the mosquitoes weren't as bad as we expected, we didn't have any run-ins with bears (unlike the last trip).
