Wow, that's amazing. I love that photographer's point. The Wind Rivers are definitely different from the Uintas.
I'm going to start talking the boys into it.

Canoeing Route: Green River Lakes, with hike to Square Top
On my first map it shows where you start and where we camped (roughly). You can make it to the campsite and all the way back to the put in in one day. So it can be a leisurely paddle to the campsite above both lakes.
Square Top can be done in one day. Finis Mithchell wrote a little book on Wind River trails. He said families can do this from the TH in a day. The route is not on the map, so the trail isn't as defined. I outlined it roughly on this topomap. The backside is very sloping.
Unfortunately I can't find all my photos from that trip (the campsite, the glacial river swimming, top of hike).

Thanks a bunch for your info. You could be our tour guide! Sounds like the hiking isn't tough. Sombeech should be able to sell that easily. You mentioned the bears. Did you have to hang your food in the trees? I am not sure if you mentioned this? But what month did you go? Thanks again!

Yeah, bears, as in grizzlies! I wore a bell when I hiked. They say stay in your group, don't yo-yo all over the place, make noises when turning corners. The FS office can probably tell you where they have been sighted. At the Green River lakes CG the hosts will greet you right off the bat and tell you about the bears.
So yes, you hang your food, they don't provide bear boxes either. Actually at Seneca Lake there weren't any trees, so we had to hang our food over a CLIFF to the lake. I swore it was going to fall in the water, but it didn't.
Backpacking was in July, canoeing has been in July and August.
Next time I camp in the mountains I was thinking of buying those new 15'x15' bug repellent do-hickies. The mosquitos are bad, but they weren't on the water.
