trip video: Gros Ventre Wilderness – Granite Creek, West Fork Crystal Creek, Crystal Creek, & Swift Creek loop, June 2021

January 11, 2023.Reading time 2 minutes.

As a companion video to our upcoming backpacking trip into the Gros Ventre Wilderness, I joined Richard from the Backcountry Post forums for an early season hike into the Gros Ventre Wilderness. Nestled between the Tetons, Wind River Range, and the Absaroka Range are these set of mountains that I had never heard of a week before meeting up with Richard at the trailhead. Wild is an apt description of the hike. That included the many wildlife we saw along the way and the difficult terrain that came with the early season.
