Friend and I make our first attempt at summiting Wyoming's highest point, Gannet Peak, on Sep 8th, 2023. We started the 3-day hike at the Green Lake's Trail head, walked ~12.5 miles up green lake's / continental divide trail and then start up Tourist Creek. About 6 miles later, we ran out of light and set up our tent at, what I'm going to call, Silent Lake (Lake directly East of Mount Solitude).

Day 2, we set off to summit Gannett. After about 6 hours, we were close to the top of the Eastern Couloir (~45 mins from summit) when storms started forming and quickly approaching us. Do to the long decent, we decided to head down and not risk being on the steep side of the mounting in the rain/snow. Made it back to our tent after dark.

Day 3, we made the long trip back the way we came. Made it back to the car after walking the last mile in the dark.

~37 miles in total.
