Wind River Mountains, Wyoming, 2009Photos by Colleen MooreDay 9, we crossed another branch of Bull Lake Creek and then on to Alpine Lake, legendary for its large cutthroat trout. The water at Alpine was high, and I found the wild onions growing in 4 inches of water this year. It's (legally) poached trout with wild onions for dinner. Day 10 was a somewhat grueling hike to Steamboat Lake, a bit over 10 miles, and we were in camp at about 5:30. |
