  • WRHR Route Description
    Wind River High Route !Section 1: Green River Lakes Trailhead to Upper Indian Basin! ! The hike starts with the gentlest of introductions. A mellow wander up the flat and scenic drainage of the Green River for the first few hours, with excellent views of Squaretop Mountain. From the Green River Lakes trailhead, take the trail that heads along the eastern shore of the two turquoise colored Green River Lakes. This trail is marked as both the Highline Trail and the Continental Divide Trail. After passing the two lakes, the trail begins a very gradual climb toward Three Forks Park, which is reached after several hours of hiking. At Three Forks Park the trail turns abruptly west and you begin your ascent into the high country, climbing to just above 10000 feet and over Vista Pass. A slight drop and then a climb into a rocky basin towards Cube Rock Pass will bring you above 10000 feet once again. The High Route will stay above 10000 feet for the next 5 or 6 days, not dropping below this barrier until the final hike out to the car, just !a few miles from the Big Sandy Trailhead.! From Cube Rock Pass continue on the trail toward Peak Lake. There is decent camping on the west side of Peak Lake, but even better camping in the basin just east of the lake. From the outlet of Peak Lake, curve around its north shore, passing through a large talus slide that drops all the way to the shore. Then wander east toward Knapsack Col.

The 1,559 acre Warm River Ranch is diverse in topography, improvements and amenities. With priority water rights out of the Wind River, the ranch currently irrigates approximately 325 acres and provides grazing on 1,200 acres of deeded land. Above the irrigated fields, the upper ranch is stunning with big views of the Absaroka Mountains that provide direct access to the Shoshone National Forest and the Wind River Mountain Range. There is approximately one mile of the Wind River coursing through Warm River Ranch. The topography, diverse terrain and abundant irrigation keep big game on the ranch year-round. Warm River Ranch is complete with ranch improvements that include a 5-bedroom, 3-bath main house, manager’s home, barn, shop, corrals and cattle handling facilities.

  • Chesseborough Thesis.Pdf
    Cheesbrough, Kyle S., Glacial Recession in Wyoming’s Wind River Range , M.S., Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering, December 2007 Abstract The Wind River Range (WRR), located in western Wyoming, is host to more than 60 glaciers making it the largest concentration of glaciers in the Rocky Mountain region. Several studies have been performed on the glaciers of the WRR, dating back to the 1930’s focusing on only the largest, most accessible glaciers such as Gannett and Dinwoody Glaciers. Each of the previous studies have documented the WRR glaciers as being in an overall receding trend since 1850, with some localized periods of advancement (Pochop et al., 1990). This study documents glacial surface area change, volume change and change in terminus position for 42 glacial complexes in the WRR from 1985 through 2005, through utilization of remote sensing techniques. The use of remote sensing techniques allows more of the glaciers in the WRR to be analyzed, rather than focusing on only the most geographically accessible glaciers. In addition to documenting the area changes since 1985 for all of the WRR glaciers, the changes in surface area and terminus position for nine selected glaciers was estimated from 1966 through 2001 using aerial photographs. It has been noted in previous studies that glaciers of smaller area are typically more sensitive to changes in climate than large glaciers (Granshaw & Fountain, 2006). Out of the 42 glacial complexes analyzed, 25 of them had an area of <0.5 km 2 in 1985, while the others were >0.5 km 2 in 1985.

Marston, Larry 0. Pochop, Greg L. Kerr, Marjorie Lm Varuska 1 ABSTRACT: The largest concentration of glaciers in the American Rocky Mountains occurs in the Wind River Range of Wyoming, but the contribution of glacier meltwater to flow in headwater streams of the Green River and Wind River drainages has not been documented. The present study documents the loss of ice in Dinwoody and Gannett Glaciers since the 1930's and the importance of glacier meltwater to overall water supply in the Green River and Wind River drainages. Both glaciers have retreated and lost thickness in the last five decades, but repeat photography revealed that Dinwoody Glacier has responded more dramatically than Gannett Glacier to the unfavorable climatic conditions. This contrast can be explained by the difference in area-elevation curves between the two glaciers. The estimated glacier meltwater from Dinwoody and Gannett Glaciers amounts to 27 percent of the September runoff and 32 percent of the October runoff in lower Dinwoody Creek. The July-October runoff from glaciers in the Wind River Range is approximately 70 x 1063 m , or eight percent of the average runoff in the Wind River and Green River basins during that four-month period.

  • The Fate of Dinwoody Glacier: Present State of Mass Balance and Downstream Impacts of Glacier Runoff
    THESIS THE FATE OF DINWOODY GLACIER: PRESENT STATE OF MASS BALANCE AND DOWNSTREAM IMPACTS OF GLACIER RUNOFF. Submitted by Brooke E. Stamper Graduate Degree Program in Ecology In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Science Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Summer 2018 Master’s Committee: Advisor: Andrew K. Bliss Neil S. Grigg Steven R. Fassnacht Copyright by Brooke E. Stamper 2018 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT THE FATE OF DINWOODY GLACIER: PRESENT STATE OF MASS BALANCE AND DOWNSTREAM IMPACTS OF GLACIER RUNOFF. The Wind River Range in Wyoming supports many of the few remaining continental glaciers of the North American Rocky Mountains; the glacier meltwater runoff feeds four major river sys- tems within the U.S. West. Runoff from glaciers affects downstream ecosystems by influencing the quantity, seasonality, and chemistry of the water. We describe the present state of Dinwoody Glacier, the fourth largest glacier in the Wind River Range. We utilize photogrammetry, snow depth measurements, and ablation measurements to characterize surface mass balance for summer of 2017. Localized and nearby stream gauge measurements help to quantify glacial meltwater runoff inputs to Dinwoody Creek. Both of these methods allowed us to put the changes of the Dinwoody Glacier into the broader context of the Missouri River Watershed. If melted, Dinwoody Glacier would no longer provide a reliable source of melt water for thousands of people living in the Missouri River Watershed. Understanding how shrinking glaciers and decreasing melt-water runoff will impact communities and ecosystems downstream is critical for effective environmental management. The response of the Wind River glaciers to future climate is uncertain; however, past research has shown declines in glacial mass, snow cover, snowmelt timing and stream power.
