Ill toss my hat in he ring! there are a couple circuits up in the Uintas I want to re visit this summer, so Im all about some day hikes to get back in shape! whats been calling you ya lately?
what's your backpacking experience level?
the Uintas? Chuckle... ALL of it! Actually I use to work up there for the BSA... Just above Mirror lake at Camp Steiner... So ive got this "revisit the old haunts" thing going on in my head...for example, The Ibantic lake loop (and options) Nick describes, would absolutely qualify as in the area I desire to see again! , I spent my summers 74 thru 77, in the shadows of Baldy and Reeds Peaks... living in a canvas wall tent and hiking the countryside! we use to do a variable loop that started at scout lake, found its way up to Lofty, and wandered into the north side of the grandaddys. I don't even SEE a trail on my current map that duplicates my memory, But back then we were young men, accomplished woodsmen, acclimated to the thin air, and not only practicing those skills, we were teaching them. so I don't doubt we bushwhacked for miles as I try to retrace our steps on a map... I do remember some Brutal climbs!What do you want to check out in Uintas? Right now, Southern Utah is calling me. I am heading out to Moab this weekend.
We are planning to stay at a hostel. I am allergic to cold and camping right now. I am down to meeting up and hiking.we're heading to moab this weekend as well. we may go snowshoeing in the La Sals. We're open to ideas for other hikes if you want to team up. We'll be camping.
