The Cirque of Towers is a unique formation in the Wind River Range in Wyoming. It is a basin surrounded by granite peaks. Best time to hike there is early fall, when snow has melted and mosquitos are gone. There is no permit needed for overnite stay in the wilderness, but you should be aware that this is black bear and grizzly bear country. So you might bring a bear repellant and make sure to store your food and toiletries appropriately.
