Blow Down in the Wind River Mountains

A massive wind storm during Labor Day of 2020 in the Wind River Range cause unbelievable damage to the mountain that will be seen for years to come. The trail system was clogged with down trees and piled high as much as 15 to 20 feet. I spent a week with the back County Horsemen checking trails and removing down timber. Trails we checked on horse back were Scab creek trail, Elk Heart Trail and Burnt lake Trail

Another great video. I'm sure it's not the easiest thing to video while riding. I don't even do it much while hiking because it's such a pain. If I had one request in regards to your videos....it would be that you make more of them. They are a joy to watch! Thanks for sharin!

Is really sad to see so much down timber, looks like a horrible future forest fire. I would guess that most of the timber is never going to be up for salvage. Thanks for a great video!

Love to watch this. This must be really tough going when it comes to the hooves of the horses, you've probably have a medical kit for that with you. And I wonder if you're armed to deal with mountain lion- and bear attacks...

Your videos are amazing, love the trails you ride and getting to follow along on your adventures. However, if possible, please edit your sound to even out in volume better. Your voice is soft I have to turn the volume on boost but the next second you have a bird screeching and it's deafening. Your camera angles are perfect, very very nice. Love what you and your friends do. Thank you.

It's interesting that the Lowline Trail on the southern boundary of the Bridger Wilderness west and east of Poston Lake has not been cleared yet after that wind storm. It's impassible. We thought it was maybe to keep the cows to the west.
