Five Days in Titcomb Basin

A friend and I spent five days backpacking in the Wind River Range in August 2024. Within hours we’d encountered moose, been closely watched by a great gray owl, and taken shelter from hail and high winds. By the time we reached Titcomb Basin and Indian Basin, it was already clear this would be a trip shaped as much by wildlife and weather as by the landscape itself.

Look behind you

I often head into a landscape with a clear vision of the image I want to make. When the light is changing, it’s easy to get locked in on capturing that moment. But it’s just as important to stop and look around, and behind you, because you never know what you might be missing.

Five Days in The Winds

From August 11–15, 2023, my father, a friend, and I spent five days backpacking in Wyoming’s Wind River Range, combining on- and off-trail travel through the iconic Cirque of the Towers and the quieter Desolation Valley.
