Wind River Mountians: Cirque of the Towers

On Saturday I went out for a day hike...my goal was Jackass Pass to get a look at Cirque of the Towers. It was 10mi in and 10 mi out obviously for those of you mathematically adept making it a 20mi hike from the trail head. =) 20miles in Kansas in less than 9 hours...please. NEWSFLASH this ain't Kansas. So I was gonna give it a shot and see how far I could make it before dark. I didn't know which would get me first the dark or the pain. I was up for the challenge to see what would happen. I arrived at the trail head at 11:45am and was cruisin' out at 8:15pm(gets dark around 9:30-10 here). Granted I was glad to be at the trail head because make no mistake I was in a little pain as you can see from the pics it was worth it. I wish I had more time to spend there than just a day but I'll be back. I'll try to put more of the pics on here when I get a chance but here are a few. Also I will have as many as I can on facebook in the next few days if you visit there. Anyway enjoy the beauty....I know they're small...not sure if I like 'em that way...if you click on them they'll enlarge....again enjoy.....
