This is the best camp to use for climbing Wolf's Head and lines on the west side of Pingora…read more You are super-high, and there aren't as many people up here as at the lower lakes. It cuts about an hour off of your approach. Why is this lake not a no-brainer? It's not as cozy as the lower lakes. There isn't as much vegetation and there are no trees. The wind will blast you here, unencumbered. (oblig: "Gee, I wonder why they call them the WIND river range?!) The lake is good for chilling beer and getting water to boil/filter, but not much else. The views of the mountains (and stars, Dear Sagan, the STARS!) are pretty great though. Oh, and your body will also be punished by the thinner air as you sleep. Having said all this, would we use this as our climbing camp again? Not sure. Might want to flip a coin on that one.

Wow. This is the…read moregateway to the granite castles, spires, and fangs known as the "Wind River Range". They are so inspiring that they are the reason the company "Patagonia" exists. (why Yvon didn't name the company "Wind River", I guess we'll never know) The area offers world-class rock climbing, hiking, scrambling, and fishing. (not sure if the fishing is world class, I'm an idiot when it comes to fishing!) Just getting to the trailhead is a journey. It sits at such high elevation that, unless you live nearby, just walking on flat ground will wear you out. Carry on though, the views are worth it, I promise!

She was unnecessarily rude to the kids, and the way she spoke to both children and adults came across as disrespectful and unwelcoming. A friendly attitude from the first person guests encounter makes a big difference, especially at a family facility. I hope management addresses this, because the facility itself has a lot of potential, but customer service left a poor first impression.

Carlie & her crew did a fantastic job making sure our stay exceeded our expectations. We experienced a few set-backs that the wilderness provided us & Carlie made sure we were safe & taken care of.

We stopped in Lander, Wyoming for a few days, so we decided to check out the Sinks Canyon State…read morePark. Good decision! Sinks Canyon is so named because of a rushing river that flows out of the mountains and through the canyon. Halfway down, the river turns (sinks) into a cavern and runs underground for 1/4 mile where it emerges in a pool called "The Rise". In the Rise there are Rainbow and Brown trout; the larger ones may weigh up to 12 lbs, but NO FISHING! For a quarter you can buy fish food to feed the fish, which is fun for everyone. A must-do if you are in the area! Also check out the Visitor Center. It is small, but is one of the best I've seen, and I've seen many. The wildlife is well displayed; and I loved the wildflower displays. The geologic rocks outside the visitor center are also A+. Well done, absolutely 5 stars.
