Pyramid Lake Trail

Cirque of the Towers to Fremont Trail Loop is a loop trail that takes you by a lake located near Boulder, Wyoming.

This is one of North America’s 50 classic climbs and rightfully so. It involves easy route finding on a skinny, 5.5 ridge that can be accessed and seen from your base camp at the middle of the cirque.  This climb is over 9 miles from the trailhead so the easiest way to climb it is to follow the Cirque of the Towers backpacking loop from Big Sandy trailhead over Jackass pass down into the cirque...

The easiest way to get to the trailhead from Farson Wyoming is to head 4 miles east of Far...

But what is no mystery is the fantastic beauty of the Canyon: the wildlife and wildflowers, the abundant trails and climbing routes, and of course the occasional glimpse of the glorious Wind Riv...
