Sami, Tim, Dad and I all had some time off at the end of August so we planned a Wyoming trip. We wanted to try the a backpacking trip in the Wind River Range called Cirque of Towers. It was only 60km with like 1500m of elevation but it was Tim, Dad and Sami’s first backbacking trip and we had to watch out for the altitude as the hike started at almost 3000m. It was in a really remote wilderness reserve that was just crazy. Here are some pics:

The boys near the beginning of the hike.

Hiking toward the first col. The father was pretty nervous about this, but ended up being really fun.

First views of the actual Cirque Tower, so steep.

A slightly better view of the Cirque Tower.

All of us a the top of Texas Pass at around 3600m.

We also did some climbing - biking before leaving Boulder for the hike.

Climbing stuff in Boulder Canyon.

Biking somewhere between Breckenridge and Copper Mountain.

Biking near the summit of Searle Pass, first Alpine mountain bike experience.

Tim doing the classic 2nd Flatiron solo. Got lost and was a bit engaging but fun.
