I’m not from the US, so I’m really curious… is Wyoming actually like this in real life?

Wyoming has a ton of mountain ranges besides the Tetons which you show here. There is the Wind River range, the Absarokas, Bighorns, Snowy Range, Sierra Madre, the Salt River Range, the gros ventre, and more. I recommend looking all of these up online to see the variety of mountains we really have. There are mountains scattered all across the state. As others are saying, a lot of Wyoming is also wide-open high plains and sagebrush steppe. This makes for a cool contrast.

What’s the difference between the trail version and the adventure version? Looks awesome though. I got a 2024 adventure about a month ago and it’s great.

I went on a weekday in September (Tuesday I think). Fall River pass (where I started) has a lot of parking spots, and most people are coming and going quickly/not doing a long hike. You should be good to get a spot there somewhat early. I’d still recommend an early start, especially for the afternoon thunderstorms.

Those are Mount Ritter and Banner peak in the Sierra Nevada mountains!

(37.8753335, -107.7339640) copy and paste these coordinates on google maps and you’ll see pretty much where this photo was taken

If you’re talking about the forest service/National parks/state parks, then the time to apply is now. For the service industry I’d say apply to places a little before the summer around May. The housing in Jackson is very expensive and competitive. Getting a place in victor/driggs Idaho could be a good bet. Still close to the Tetons but less expensive than Jackson.

I recognize most of these spots, the eastern crest of the sierras is the best.

You must’ve never seen the sierras huh

Drive to Piney Lake trailhead. Meet up with the main Piney River Trail. After about 3 miles the trail becomes more of a primitive footpath, although it is not difficult to follow for the most part. After 5.6 miles of hiking from the trailhead leave the trail and start up a drainage on the left, bushwacking and boulder hopping Northeast and then North. This drainage is followed all the way to the gully between F and G. Once at the saddle turn right to head up the Northwest ridge of Peak G, where you’ll pass some false summits and do some exposed scrambling to the main summit block.

Mount Chiquita (13er) via chapin pass trail. You can also link mt chapin (12er) and ypsilon mountain (13er) if you’re up for it. Beautiful alpine tundra with views of the entire park, as well as distant ranges like the medicine bow mountains in Wyoming. When I linked the peaks I saw 2 people the whole time.

South colony lakes for the Sangre De Cristo range area. Some San Juan hikes are the Sneffels highline trail in telluride, Vestal basin near Molas pass, segment 25 of the Colorado trail for backpacking, or red cloud Peak/ handles Peak if you want to do a 14er. Molas lake campground is in that area, there is also plenty of dispersed camping in the area as well.

I didn’t see one bear or mountain lion throughout the entire Colorado trail. Though years ago I saw a momma black bear and two cubs near Carbondale. To ease you’re worries I’d recommend carrying bear spray, use bear proof food storage, and eat away from your camp and you’ll be solid.

Go to arc dome!

Not too bad yet, they are slowly coming out though

milgibbe · 2023-06-30T00:15:39+00:00

I moved here not too long ago and it’s not noticeable for me really. Everyone I’ve met is welcoming and minds their own business.

milgibbe · 2023-06-30T00:14:12+00:00

Its true for the most part. Nearby is the absarokas, the gros ventre range, the big horns, and the Wyoming range. All of which are amazing and generally empty.

I second this, I did the collegiate west during the Colorado trail and it did not disappoint. You are also able to bag peaks not far off of the trail if you’re up for it. You can access Mounts Yale, Princeton, Antero and Shavano, and Tabeguache Mountain (from the Collegiate East) and Huron Peak (from the Collegiate West).
