Drive from the guide’s office to the Elkhart Park trailhead on Pole Creek Trail. Hike past the scenic Photographer’s Point and Seneca Lake. Establish camp near Island Lake and rest up before the long journey ahead.

Start the day with a 4.5-mile hike to the head of Titcomb Basin and up the glacier-carved valley. Enjoy walking along mile-long emerald lakes as the jagged peaks of Fremont, Sacagawea and Mt. Helen loom above you. In preparation for the next day’s challenges, practice snow climbing and self-arrest techniques in a nearby snowfield.

Kick off the day with an early alpine start to the top of Gannett Peak and return to camp before nightfall. Expect a 14-hour day of mountaineering on technical routes, alpine glaciers and sections that require snow climbing and rock scrambling.

Having accomplished your goal, it’s time to wind down a bit and enjoy the beauty of Wind River some more. Explore, take photos, try your hand in fishing! There’s plenty of lakes in the area.

On the final day of the expedition revisit Seneca Lake, Hobbs, and Eklund Lakes. Savor the spectacular views of Titcomb Basin and Gannett Peak from Photographer’s Point.
