Brad and I took our annual backpacking trip in the Wind River Range of Wyoming for 2012. We took an awesome, mostly offtrail, route through the southern Winds. Generally, the daily mileage with packs was relatively low, but we climbed a mountain everyday and fished for dinner every night. The scenery was incredibly beautiful.
