Day 3 of Backpacking in Wind River Range - Today we took a day hike (15.5 miles from base camp) up to the Continental Divide at Indian Pass (past Island Lake and Indian Basin). It was a fun 3000' climb day. It wasn't real hard, but was the highest anyone in the group had ever gone (12,180') except for me and one other leader. It was pretty fun watching them struggle but still make it to the pass. Well done! - We hiked up to the pass shown just left-center.
