Here's a shot of it at night (courtesy of my brother). One of my favorite signs. I miss it.

Haha. Reminds me... it's become a tradition on one of our yearly canyoneering trips to try and bring the best "luxury" food item. Things worked up to things like 2-liter bottles of soda. Then one year my brother trumped everyone else... after setting up camp following the last rappel he...

We barely made it over Dead Horse Pass last year (due to sketchy weather) and continued on to Reconnaissance Lake. It was a beautiful area... I was hoping the weather would cooperate better for us. We were essentially in the cold clouds the whole time we were at Reconnaissance. We stayed as...

Not to hijack the Uintas photo, but I've got a similar question about the whereabouts of the below photo. I know it's in Utah... down south somewhere, but don't know the name of the area/canyon. I'm sure someone here will know the spot. I know there are 4-5 small rappels and eventually the...

Didn't venture too far up that day. These were all caught in the vicinity of the Soapstone turnoff. Nowadays a couple more varieties show up in the Upper Provo - I'm sure Tiger Trout are gaining access from some lakes and the occasional Albino Rainbow shows up in the stream.

I too was hoping to make a quick jaunt to the Uintas (Upper Provo) for a brief fishing expedition on Friday... the early rain and cloudy skies made me rethink the idea. Good thing the urge to go was too strong. It ended up being a beautiful early afternoon. One of the reasons I really like...

Did you end up dropping into Crow Basin? Zep

I'm assuming most who have Tacos that frequent this site have the Off Road package. My basis for wanting a vehicle like the Tacoma is so I don't have to worry about being able to make it to most trailheads... most of my reference trailheads/roads are akin to those in the Uintas (don't really...

When I lived in Vermont, the percentage of people who drove Subarus was probably highter than that, maybe 50% (I'm exaggerating but they did seem to be THE vehicle in that neck of the woods). People loved them for the long winters, hilly roads, and minimal snow removal. Maybe it's the fact...

Hadn't looked as much into the Cherokees thinking they would be just as expensive (if not more) as the Wranglers and a bit less capable. The clearance issue is what concerns me the most about Subarus. That and the opinion that they just don't fall into my classic view of a backpacking/outdoor...

Jumping into the really expensive gear category... I'm curious to know what vehicle people use to get to their favorite backpacking/hiking/fishing destinations. Unfortunately, some of my trips get planned around my '98 Honda Accord. Eventually, I'm going to get a vehicle than can get me to...

I've actually got a Spot (and use it). That may have been the only reason I got to go at all. Next time I'm in Utah/Uintas and can't find a backpacking partner, I may let you know. Zep

I had originally planned to do a quick overnight trip and visit East Slide Lake and Gates Lake in the Lake Fork Drainage of the Uintas. However, my wife wasn’t too keen on me doing a solo overnight trip. So, we reached somewhat of a compromise where I would day hike into East Slide Lake. East...
