We headed out last weekend with our friends Steve and Rebecca for some fun in Lander, Wyoming. Lander is a great little town tucked on the southeast side of the Wind River range, in my opinion one of the prettiest places in Wyoming. The Lander Bar is in my top 5.
We did some sport climbing in Wild Iris, which has to be one of the most scenic climbing areas in the U.S., and also boasts some fantastic dolomite. The camping is fantastic and you can walk to the cliffs. In camp Olympics Aaron was unstoppable, building a 2-0 record in Kick-Catch, and nailing the furthest two camp targets with the pellet gun. Up the road a few miles we found a perfect little meadow for shooting some skeet, which Rebecca says "is almost as much fun as trundling".
On our last day we day-hiked in the Dickinson Park area of the Popo Agie Wilderness. While not quite as spectacular as approaching the Winds from the west, it was still a beautiful hike. I think we saw two other party's the whole day. The Final competition of the trip was the "Split Rock 3k" footrace back to the truck. Steve was suffering from a self-diagnosed stress fracture, so could not participate, but his girlfriend held their banner high with a first place finish, beating Meredith by 20 seconds and Aaron by 5 minutes.
