Title:
Hiking Jackass Pass to Cirque of the Towers

Description:
Here, Shelli Johnson and Kathy Browning, of Lander, WY, hike from Big Sandy Opening to Big Sandy Lake, Jackass Pass to Cirque of the Towers and Lonesome Lake in Wyoming's Wind River Range. Jackass Pass was so named because "only a jackass would travel through it." Jackass Pass provides hikers access to the Continental Divide and spectacular views in all directions. The famous Cirque of the Towers are huge, towering, granite walls and peaks surrounded by alpine tundra and lakes. This is some of the most scenic country in the world!
