Highly recommend stopping by this unique place for a hearty meal pre or post your adventure. Bread pudding desert was also on point. Felt treated very warmly here and the staff are happy to share info on local conditions to help plan your trip.

The meals were all delicious and the sack lunches were huge! The horses are well cared for and the property is clean and well maintained. We took an all day horse back ride to go fishing and caught plenty. The lake by the lodge has plenty of fish and kept our grandsons entertained. If you haven't been here you are missing a great time and adventure. We will be back!

Gorgeous place. The new "camping shacks" are great. The park superintendent and rangers are too…read more They say they hope to add solar power to the shacks in the future. Enjoyed watching vultures sunning themselves on the rocks at the highest rise on Brannon Point in mid to late morning. Already planning to come back in late spring!

Big blue lake flanked by granite slabs…read more I hear there is fantastic fishing here! If you're going into "The Winds" to climb, this is a good spot to take your first break and cool your tootsies. I would NOT recommend drinking this water without filtration though. This lake sees heavy use by humans...humans that may have varying degrees of...sanitation. For many folks, this lake is the destination. We stopped, admired the views, then threw our torture-packs back on and continued down the trail.

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!

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.
