Backpacking in the high uintas

Jordan Lake

This is Jordan Lake which was at a lower elevation than the lake we stayed at. It was much greener and the fishing was much better here! Only problem was the mosquitos...

Cliffside

Here is a picture we took from up on a cliff overlooking Shaler lake, which is where we stayed. THere was a huge variety in terms of the landscape, from rocky cliffs with landslides to marshy bits and then some flat grassland. Got pretty chilly up here.

Random Spot

Campsite

We set up camp in a relatively open area. The goal was to have some wind so that we wouldn't be pestered by mosquitos while at camp. It also had some trees so we did have a little bit of shade. There were also some nice flat rocks to put our cooking equipment.

Bird's Eye View

Here we decided to scale a cliff. Maybe not the best idea but the view was great. We could see the entire basin from where we were. Cool part about this was that there was also snow... in the middle of the summer!

Here's just a cool picture of a lake we walked past.
