(HA) Evening Travel Program: Traversing the Wind River High Route

“The Wind River High Route is in our opinion, mile for mile, the finest non-technical Alpine route in North America.” -Alan Dixon, Don Wilson Gary Lawton, from The Mountain Shop, competed the route in September 2018 and agrees completely—“This was some of the best days I have spent in the mountains in a long time.” The route closely follows the continental divide for approximately 80 miles, more than half of which is off trail. The route crosses nine passes, between 11,500 and 12,000 feet, has sections of 3rd class scrambling, and one glacier crossing.
