Author Finis Mitchell had more than 70 years of rugged hiking experience before writing 144-page illustrated book, Wind River Trails. He drew upon that experience to write a book describing in great detail the trails, routes, wildlife, glaciers, 4,000 lakes and 800 streams in Wyoming's fabulous two and a quarter million acre Wind River Range.
I have read this numeorus times, and carried it through the Windrivers with me. It's perfect for getting in the mood for experiencing the area, and when reading it, one seems to channel Finis.
