This is probably of interest only to goat packers wanting to know terrain and wind conditions on Medicine Bow Peak. The only concern I would share is the altitude: I was camped in the Heart Lake (west side, ie) region on all three trips, and had had several 9 day 10,000' trips beforehand, so the goats were used to that altitude. Note the huge differences in wet and dry years, and the progression of the beetle killed trees. Sorry about the poor quality filming. Feel free to contact me for more information. Jules
