Looks like a great trip! We're trying to get out for a short trip this coming weekend. How were the temps at night?

Had a great first trip of the season at the end of April. We hiked the Boulder Mail Trail over 3 days and had a blast. Hopefully this trip report has some data that might help someone trying to learn more about this trip, or just inspire somebody to do this hike. It's a great one. Friday - 4/26...

Super cool! Thanks for sharing.

Awesome report! I've never done a river trip. But now I want to.

Thanks, again! That's great info.

Thanks for the info, @MN dad It's great to get that kind of info! Just thought of a followup question: Is there enough stream-walking/-crossing that I should just plan on wearing my Chacos? Or can I wear my hiking shoes without them getting soaked?

Thanks, Dan. I appreciate it!

Hola! I'm planning on opening up my 2018 season with an overnighter on the BMT. First, thanks to everyone in this forum for all the info that you've already shared about this trail. All your pics and trip reports are really helpful and are what have made me want to do this trail so badly. In...

That helps a ton! It's always good to hear some firsthand experience. Thanks, DrNed.

Thanks for the reply! If I give it a try, I'll a post the results :)

Hey, Nick! Cool trip. I was looking at a map, trying to find a fun overnight loop in the Uintas, and thought this would be cool. I googled it to see if I could get more info on the area, and was stoked to see a Backcountry Post link as the firs result! haha--gotta love this forum. I'd be...

I'm definitely going to need to return and explore more of that area! Thanks for the suggestion.

The first two days we saw quite a few other people--a few trail runners, and other backpacking groups--but after we summited King's Peak and went down the other side of Anderson's pass we only saw one other hiker as we went over Smith's Fork Pass and then there were two guys 1/4-mile or so from...

Thanks! It was a great trip. I highly recommend it. Yes, you are correct, we camped at Lower Red Castle Lake. Lesson here for me is don't wait too long to write up your trip report! You'll end up making mistakes.

I don't there was any kind of wooden sign at the summit.

I think there is if I remember correctly. It was over a year ago so it's all kind of hazy at this point.

Hare the daily mileages that I found on Caltopo before the trip. Unfortunately I wasn't tracking miles during the trip. I've since bought a garmin watch for running that I'm excited to take on future trips. But here's the mileage according to Caltopo: DAY 1: Henry's Fork TH to Dollar Lake: 7.5...

Summer of 2015, our backpacking crew was looking for an awesome 5-day trip in the Uintas. After spending some time with a map, we decided on a route that would take us to both King's Peak and Red Castle. I'm sure this loop (or variations on it) has been done by many people, many times. But since...

Haha, well if it makes you feel any better I never read your 2015 wish list ;) But now that I know that's a thing I'll have to rummage through people's and get some ideas! When we first decided that the Uintas would be the big trip of the year, we initially wanted to do the Highline Trail (not...

Thanks for the tip!
