encoded: You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know.–René Daumal <img decoding="async" class="size-thumbnail wp-image-13189" src="http://havemediawilltravel.com/wp-content/uploads/Shelli-FremontPeaksummit-Mug-150x150.jpg" alt="Howdy!" width="150" height="150" srcset="https://www.havemediawilltravel.com/wp-content/uploads/Shelli-FremontPeaksummit-Mug-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.havemediawilltravel.com/wp-content/uploads/Shelli-FremontPeaksummit-Mug-225x225.jpg 225w, https://www.havemediawilltravel.com/wp-content/uploads/Shelli-FremontPeaksummit-Mug-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.havemediawilltravel.com/wp-content/uploads/Shelli-FremontPeaksummit-Mug-460x460.jpg 460w, https://www.havemediawilltravel.com/wp-content/uploads/Shelli-FremontPeaksummit-Mug.jpg 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px" /> Howdy! I am back in the “lower regions,” but still thinking about what I saw up high. As I write this, I’m still exhilarated from an adventure I experienced in my backyard, Wyoming’s Wind River Range, this past weekend. As you have gathered by the many blog posts I’ve published here, I spend a lot of time in Wyoming’s Wind River Range, which is essentially my “backyard.” This blog post is my attempt to share about what I consider to be one of my most memorable Wind River epic adventures – time in Indian Basin and a climb up Fremont Peak. I apologize in advance for the blog post’s long length. But, as the saying goes, I would have made it shorter, but I didn’t have the time. I put this adventure together at the last minute when a work trip was cancelled. I invited my dear friend, Kathy Swanson, to accom…

It has been a generous summer for me in terms of how much time I’ve had in the high country of my back yard, Wyoming’s Wind River Range. For the last six weeks, I’ve gone on six epic day hikes. On July 12, my husband, Jerry, and I hiked a 25.5-mile roundtrip hike that took us past a jaw-dropping panoramic view of massive granite peaks and several lakes, and through fields of wildflowers before reaching what is one of the most spectacular sights I’ve ever seen — Island Lake and Titcomb Basin. <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-10891" title="01-P7111953" src="http://havemediawilltravel.com/wp-content/uploads/01-P7111953-460x345.jpg" alt="" width="460" height="345" srcset="https://www.havemediawilltravel.com/wp-content/uploads/01-P7111953-460x345.jpg 460w, https://www.havemediawilltravel.com/wp-content/uploads/01-P7111953-225x168.jpg 225w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 460px) 100vw, 460px" /> We saw this moose right after the sun came up. This hike would be all new territory for us so we were particularly excited. We started hiking at 5:30 a.m. from the Elkhart Park/Pole Creek Trailhead, located about 15 miles/30 minutes outside of Pinedale, WY. We enjoyed a very gradual uphill hike through a forest for the first few miles. At four miles we noted a cow moose standing near a pond in a meadow to our left. We watched it — had a bit of a (loving) staredown with it — for a few minutes, before quietly moving on. I…
