Date: July 29th, 2025 3:45 AM Author: trip twinkling den hominid The Sierra High Route in California and the Wind River High Route in Wyoming are two highly-regarded high routes in the US, known for their challenging off-trail and alpine terrain.
The Sierra High Route is a 195-mile trek through the Sierra Nevada, while the Wind River High Route is a 80-100 mile trek through the Wind River Range, both requiring significant experience and planning. |

Danger/Risk How do you weigh the risks of a trip like this to see if it is appropriate for you? It’s not my place to decide that for anyone, but this trip pushed me hard, especially physically. Peter, a 22-year old track athlete, who is cool-headed and tough as nails, was tired but did well.
The climb up “Bastian Pass” was uncomfortable for both of us. One bad slip there could have been fatal. I don’t have experience with ice axes, but it seems like having one, and the ability to self-arrest before sliding down a slope would have been well worth the weight penalty. Speaking with locals in Lander, it seemed typical to bring an ice axe on similar ventures, depending on conditions. |

Date: July 29th, 2025 3:47 AM Author: trip twinkling den hominid Subject: Disco? But should YOU do it? You need to decide, of course, but I hope my narrative and insight will help those of you who are considering such a trip. With limited experience and less-than-ideal fitness, this trip (and others like it) can be downright dangerous, so evaluate yourself honestly. I would suggest getting lots of experience backpacking on traditionally established trails and practicing navigation first. If you’re set on the WRHR, consider starting with one of the more moderate loops, though none of them are easy. Loop #6 is much tougher than loop #2, for example. Finally, going with someone who has experience in this area is always a good strategy.
With proper planning, preparation and experience, the WRHR loops are arguably some of the finest backpacking anywhere on Earth. |
