A great week with my reliable and ready to go brother in law. This year we decided to up the anty a wee bit and do something approaching 50 miles in the Northern Winds. In the end we did a cross-country traverse of the New Fork Plateau with a twist. Rather than start in New Fork Canyon, we started at Green River Lake and after crosing the plateau, we ended up at Summit Lake. From there we opted for the simple return to Green River Lakes via the Highline Trail. Next year, we'll build on this and do something even more interesting.
