Ultimate Camping Thread

Came across this thread and thought I would share my latest backpacking trip into the Wind River Mountains here in Wyoming. Hopefully they turn out ok . . .

This is just a few miles from the Big Sandy Trail Head


This shot is during a day hike up Pylon's Peak, elevation is about 12,400 ft


And this is a picture at the top looking out at Warrior II, another mountain that makes up the Cirque of the Towers

Had a blast, try to make an annual trip!

 

And you took your chocolate lab with you! How cool is that?

 

That guy wasnt mine My brother brought along his chocolate and black lab, we had a golden retreiver with us. Great dogs! Packed in their own food on the way in and out.

 

amazing pics.....im gonna make it out west one of these days. i dont think i have ever made it past 4000 feet.

 

Some camping pics from 3 days in the white mountains in NH. We went a few weeks ago and spent the first day at the site and at the Upper Ammonoosuc Falls.


Spent the next day hiking Mount Eisenhower (4,761' not quite like Wyoming) and across the ridge to descend down Mt. Pierce (4,310').







The next day, back to the Ammonoosuc Falls for beers and floating and tailgate grilling and beers.





Awesome hike. I am going up again in a couple of weeks for kayaking, hiking, and camping.

 

Thanks! No higher than 4000'? Wow, I currently live at almost 6400'. Dizzy spells come quite often then you get used to it. I had altitude sickness when we hiked up Burstat peak in Colorado, elevation was about 14,000’!

 

Great pics!! Up were we were at, a lot of glacial lakes, WAY too cold to do any swimming, dogs loved it though. Fishing was good too. Caught some nice sized Golden Trout, they love the high altitude lakes.

 

Wow! I went skydiving and jumped out at 14,000'.


At the falls there were mini salmon jumping up stream. It was awesome. Some ppl were fishing for them, but I didn't have a permit. One jumped up right next to me in a shallow cascade with an inch of water. I almost caught it with my hands! I slapped it to the side, but it hit a rock and bounced back in the water and swam down the cascade. I slid down after it, but it got away.

I woulda bear grylls that sht and take a bite outa it. Salmon sushi.

 

I need to start taking pics. I have camped about 17 times this summer lol. Just picked up some new shit from my dad that he was going to toss some of his old military shit. Good stuff. I also got a kelty teton 2 tent for free from a coworker cleaning out her garage!
