I finally returned to complete a through hike of the Weminuche Wilderness from Wolf Creek Pass to Silverton. I had attempted this 3 years agao and failed.
For those who don't feel like clicking through to the full report, it was a 90 mile trip with nearly 20,000 vertical feet. It was so remote that we managed to go 3 full days without seeing anyone else.
We did intend to hike Rio Grande Pyramid on this trip, but that did not go as planned. We did walk right by it.
The wilderness has been ravaged by beetle kill and fire, but is still beautiful. A trip into the heart of this wilderness is difficult but worth the effort.
The sunsets are beautiful
The trail goes on forever
Even in the worst burnt areas the flowers and the burnt trees have a unique beauty.
The remote lakes are pristine
The views are endless
It makes you never want to leave
My GPS Tracks on Google Maps (made from a .GPX file upload):
That looked like quite an adventure in an incredible area. I enjoyed the story behind Beartown and the recap of how you got back (I was curious if you did a shuttle but driving two cars to the San Juans is taxing).
