I was in the Wind River Range and Cirque of the Towers with the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS) out of Lander 53 years ago and it changed my life. I was a Long Island, New York boy, but I moved out West 2 years later and never looked back. The West is the best!

@@zekeabercrombie3583 Just wondering I know it’s a beautiful place and rugged but is anyplace feel remote anymore. I am an avid backpacker and do a lot of long distance hiker well into my 60s but with the internet and KZread it seems no place is a secret and people are everywhere. Add to that how light gear has gotten things are much easier. I hike mostly in the White mountains of NH and now the parking lots are full and I need to hike just hike. Just wondering if Wyoming is having the same issue. Wyoming is very beautiful for sure. I climbed the Grand Teton many times back in the 70 and 80s. Great times. Take care

@@mtadams2009 you're right on about the traffic. KZread and the amazing gear is making remote areas more accessible. I've just recently got into backpacking and it's wonderful. I've always camped but throwing all you need on your back and heading out into the woods for several days is exhilarating! We did get off the beaten path and out and away from the crowds after seeing the Cirque. Just gotta commit to it!

After decades of making some and watching a lot of other various hiking / backpacking videos, this is by far the best of the bunch. A true adventure! Magnificent! 5 Stars! A solid 10+!!! The descriptive use of a map combined with outstanding photography and some great music choices puts all others to shame. Well done once again Catherine. Thank you and keep 'em coming.

Fantastic camera work, editing and music. No words good enough for this beautiful place, love the Wind River Range. Thanks for taking us there Catherine! Would be great to spend a month there.

Thank you so much Joyce. It's a tough place to leave.

I spent 27 days in the Wind River Range / Cirque of the Towers on a NOLS course 40 years ago - I still remember it vividly. As a Fourth of July treat our group, summitted Mt. Geike. I also remember Mount Washakie and "Pain in the Ass Pass". No GPS back then, and not even a compass, just orienteering with good old USGS quads. It is truly an amazing place

"VISIONS OF CHEESEBURGERS DANCING IN OUR HEADS!" 😂 You had me laughing out loud!!! We've hiked over 18,000 miles in our 49 years of marriage. We've litterally worn out a few pairs of hiking boots over the years. We've done that trail and know how difficult it is. I still recall craving pizza, cheeseburgers, pasta, etc. We still hike, but we now keep to our Appalachian Mountains. Again, thanks for bringing us along on your beautiful hiking journey!

Amazing hike! How stunning is Lonesome Lake?!?! 5 days of hiking and you still found the time to edit and upload within the week. Mad skills. Thanks for showing us this amazing place!!

Dear Cat, watching your channel from almost day 1 your development is amazing. But, this was a true pinnacle. It is no longer a KZread video. It is an awsome Cat Adventures production! Story, filming, music all with a typical female Cat touch. Outstanding. Thank you for your masterpiece. It is worth much more viewers.

Oh to be 30 years younger. Great accomplishments on all your treks at high elevation. Thank you for sharing your journey. Being and old avid fisherman I'd have trouble staying on mission. All those lakes and streams are so tempting. Take care dear and careful of the bears. ♥️

I'm so excited about my fall trip to Cheyenne and a meet up with Overlander friends now. Your video is so inspiring! Magnificent job, Catherine. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Thanks Catherine This video takes me back to my younger days . We made this hike in 1973 . Three Tennessee boys heading West for adventure .. I remember camping at Lonesome Lake under the Cir de Towers and thinking this is what they mean about the grandeur of the West .What a beautiful place . My buddies have passed but I still remember this as a trip of a lifetime . Thanks again for this beautiful video .

I totally get why you do what you do Cat, and I can only watch in awe. Your videos have a way of evoking an emotional response from the viewer... The beauty of the landscape, the music, your editing technique, all contribute to a super pleasant viewing experience. It's almost like being there... almost. I can only imagine what it's like to actually be there. It has to be a spiritual experience. The connection with Nature is a connection to God if one is open to it. It is next to impossible to experience that feeling in the "concrete jungle". Your lifestyle is not lost on me, Cat. I get why you do what you do. I loved the positive attitude of your friends. Truly inspirational! Keep up the great work my friend!

Really loved this astonishingly beautiful adventure. I believe this is my favorite backpacking video of all time. For me, your focus was perfect, the awe of Nature, and the human element of pushing forward to accomplish a goal. Often backpacking videos get caught up in the technical explanation of equipment, set ups, take down, and dilute the feeling of being fully engulfed in the emotional experience of it all. Thank you for masterfully creating this uniquely compelling experience for your audience.

People aren’t aware that there could be things going on behind the scenes and there are reasons I have cut back on backpacking trips. Also, unfortunately…the backpacking videos don’t perform as well as my road life videos on the channel. I don’t understand that, but that’s the situation. I wish I could please everyone, but it’s impossible. I’m just out here living my life and sharing it with the viewers. I do have more backpacking adventures planned before the end of the season.

Respect to all gentlemen. We appreciate you.
