When I first hiked it in 2012, Bonneville Pass was one of the most peaceful, lovely places I’d been to in Wyoming outside of the Tetons. So when we were going to be driving through the area again last summer,…
Today, here’s a guest post from one of my group members. He’s young, loves awe-inspiring views (especially over peaceful or spectacular valleys), and is generally quiet until he really has an opinion. Then, world watch out! (And I should know…
