A somewhat ambitious plan to start with. That's only natural. In the end we spent five days in the Winds rather than seven But I did get up Arrowhead on the 3rd day. Day 4 we decided to start the hike out. A good decision as day 5 was not so nice, particularly that evening - seen from the comfort of downtown Pinedale. A one day storm, but I'm glad we weren't camped up above treeline when it blew through. There were so many people on the trail to Island Lake that any bears were probably elsewhere. Crowded is the only word to describe the Northern Winds this year.
