And in 1994, we did another vacation to the Winds, this time to Titcomb Basin, on the west side of the center of the range, one of the gateways to such big mountains as Gannett Peak. The hike in was demanding--the terrain, the elevation gain, the high country insects--but it was one of our best visits in the Winds, and with no mishaps, fiascoes, messes, nor wrecks. Looking at the photos 20 years later, I still think of it as one of the most beautiful Alpine places I have seen.
