Landform

A horseshoe of granite peaks around Lonesome Lake. Pingora, Wolf’s Head, and the high architecture of the Winds.

Field note

The approach is over Jackass Pass. Pingora is the tooth. The Cirque is not a park and not a road. Green River Lakes is the gentler door to the same range. This is the wilder room.
