Wind River Trip (Cirque of the Towers) Robert and Courtney Schafer September 2007 Click here to return to the main page Over Labor Day weekend, Robert and I went up to the Wind River mountains in Wyoming. We intended to hike in to the Cirque of the Towers, set up a base camp, and then do some third class routes on the many peaks in the area. Unfortunately, Robert sprained his ankle badly as we were crossing Jackass Pass, so we settled for just spending some time in the area enjoying the views. We'll have to go back and do some peaks one day!
