I've done a bit of stuff up in the Winds and am wondering what trailhead has the most or best "wow" factor at the beginning or within the first several miles?
Here's what I've done:
Green River Lakes- passenger car accessible, very scenic glacial valley. Squaretop Mtn across the lakes is very pretty. Very popular trailhead
Elkhart Park- passenger car accessible, not very scenic for the first few miles. Very popular trailhead.
Shoshone Lake Entry- Tough 4x4 road. Very scenic view from the last ridge before dropping down to the lake.
What are some of the other trailheads and your observations? My wife wants a trip up there, but bringing the wife means bringing the kids and I'm lazy.
