STORMS & Smoke & STUNNING VIEWS OH MY! | BACKPACKING the WIND RIVER RANGE | Titcomb Basin

Join myself, Kim, Stephen and Terry on a 5 day backpacking trip in Wyoming's majestic and rugged Wind River Range. We experience thunderstorms and wildfire smoke that finally give way to stunning days. We camp our first night at Hobb's Lake, then make base-camp at Island Lake for 2 nights to set ourselves up for a day hike into the high alpine of Titcomb Basin. We split the hike back to the trailhead into two days making camp at Eklund Lake our final night. It was my first time meeting long time channel supporters Kim and Stephen (in person) and their dear friend Terry. I'm always a bit nervous heading out on a multi-day trip with folks I've never (officially) met, but the nerves quickly dissipated. New friendships were formed in the backcountry during this epic adventure! Thank you Kim and Stephen for the invitation. Come along!

This really is an unbelievable place! Superb video!

[williampalmquist]

I have to agree with the others. You knocked it out of the park on this one. I can see a Cat Adventures calendar coming one of these days. One with camp scenes in the foreground. So we can all put ourselves there! Thank you again for sharing. XO

[vincentmaes]

I still can't get over the views and scenery you had. I just loved it. WOW

Excellent cinematography and music score ! Thanks for sharing your adventure with me. Godspeed.

[kcstevens]

This place is close to heaven. Beautiful, but I must experience it for myself. Again, thank you.

Wind River Range!! The views at Island

Excellent on the large screen with great choice of music!.

[Troutguy]

I use to watch hours of trout fishing videos on my free time, your videos have stolen some of that time! the scenery, music, narration is truly professional. I see some of this on my trout fishing trips but you show so much more, you have a library of memories stored up for yourself, but your library is enjoyed by thousands you will never meet. Thank you Catherine for all you do.
God Bless and safe travels.

[marklalone]

So nicely documented, shot, edited and narrated. Thanks for the wonderful 32:31 minutes.

Cat! I think this video is one of your best ever! Between the spectacular views and the awesome back ground music I had tears in my eyes longing to be there. Since I retired 10 years ago our family has had a lot of medical issues that have diverted my plans to be in the back country. But through you videos, It gives me the opportunity to BE there without GOING there. So thank you Catherine for letting me escape to the places I long to be. My heart and mind need to be there...but your videos take me away to where I want and need to be. Thank you so much for filling that gap for me. I truly appreciate everything you do! It keeps me looking forward to better times.
