I have done the highline trail twice now and going again for the third time this year. I have always started the first weekend in August, never had a bug issue, and only ran into snow at gabbros pass once but it wasn't a problem to work around. My date is mostly chosen because of work scheduling...

Today’s recon mission, slate gorge is the end of dry road, made it too Provo river falls before the slushy road got a little iffy.

My wife and I went up Saturday, duchesne tunnel was the end of the line. Trucks and trailers were for the most part blocking the road at that point. We did manage to get by them and made it as far as the next campground but the roads were really slushy. It surprised me how fast people would be...

Great report!! I am usually chomping at the bit to get back into the uintas each year, there is so much to see. I have done the highline trail successfully once and made it halfway once. My nephew wants to do it for his graduation this august, so I guess I get to do it again. Everybody looks at...

I am looking for suggestions on where to go. My wife and I would like to go for a couple nights somewhere but not sure where. The hopeful plan is to be able to get some more backpacking in by maybe heading towards the Moab area between Christmas and new years. Problem is I don't know if it is...

I don't think there is really any one hammock that is any better than the other, I would probably stay away from big box store hammocks though. That being said i have a couple gran trunk hammocks and really like them, one is a single the other a double. I got mine thinking it would be easier...

The first weekend in august seems to be my time to disappear for a few days, this year has been a bit of a challenge for me to get someone to go (wife doesn't like me going alone). I originally had planned on my brother and I spending a couple days around fox lake but he bailed on me a couple...

My wife and I have been discussing getting walkie talkies or something of that sort for when we go backpacking or even hiking, this way if one wanders of for a potty break or to explore a bit we can contact each other if needed. Does anyone have any suggestions on what would be best to use, or...

Thank you for your trip report, when I finished the highline trail a couple years ago I actually thought to myself that I was in no big hurry to do it again!! This last summer though I thought to myself that I did in fact want to do it again only vary my trip slightly from the last and go with...

Ruth lake in early september

My brother and I did a little day trip on Friday and the snow wasn't bad yet, did bald mountain summit then headed back and fished from clegg lake to bench lake. We saw a lot of bear tracks around notch lake so be prepared for pre hibernation bears. That late in the month though anything could...

Its been awhile since I have been on here (forgot password so basically just lurked), any way my wife and I are heading out for the first overnighter into the uintas this coming weekend. I was planning on going to naturalist basin and I see a few people have already done it so this year and...

we had to come out at gunsight pass, it was very hard for me to turn right there while looking at kings peak, but while facing his injury it was what had to be done.

Well the trip was forced into an early retreat due to a twisted knee on my freinds part, I will do a trip report of what we managed when I get it together.

the only issue so far that I am seeing is the weather may be a little on the wet side, but we have prepared as best we can for that

we are planning on spending thursday night at the leidy peak end.

My trip will officially begin this coming friday, the pack is loaded minus water checked and rechecked to insure everything is present and comes in at 39 lbs minus water. My buddy and I have gone over the check list to insure we dont double up on things that there is no point in both of us...

I am looking to replace the steel stakes that came with my tent and was wondering if I am wasting money and not really saving much weight or do they actually save weight. I am not an ultra light backpacker but I do not care for the steel stakes much, they bend way too easy. Which would be...

my buddy and I have planned a pretty loose schedule as well, the plan was to fish when we can and enjoy the rest. The only scheduled thing is a kings peak climb.

A friend and I are hiking the highline trail this summer as well. We plan on heading to Vernal on the 31st of July to stay with one of my wife's friends and drop a vehicle on the mirror highway side, the plan is to be dropped off at the leidy peak trail head on the 1st of august and finish on...
