It is a wonderful place. I will hike( or stay ) in Wind River Range with my
wife this summer for 2 week or more. Shroomer introduced me South Wind
River Range.

This summer, I will walk from North to South with lots of side trip. There
is a shuttle service of the outdoor shop, and they also have food drop
service at the campground. Therefore, we can stay 2 week or more in WRR.
