AMC Auditorium, 4 Joy St, Boston MA
The Wind River Range is a remote mountain range running along the
crest of the Continental Divide in western Wyoming . This climbers'
and backpackers' paradise contains dozens of summits over 13,000 feet,
many of the largest glaciers in the Rockies, and hundreds of
shimmering alpine lakes nestling amid boulder strewn meadows.

13,800 foot high Gannett Peak, the highest summit in the Winds, is
also the high-point of the state of Wyoming and is the remotest state
high-point in the United States. This summer, Gokul Gopal spent a week

also hoping to experience more of what the Winds have to offer:

tourist throngs. In this hour-long slideshow Gokul will share some of
his pictures and memories from this trip, along with some useful
background information about the Wind River Range. Continue reading
