Backpack to Red Caslte Lake and Mt. Wilson

Evanston, Utah

27 mi / 4200 ft gain

Utah's 13ers are generally overshadowed by their 14er neighbors to the east, but do not be fooled, Utah's 13ers require a tremendous amount of effort to summit. The closest 13er to a road, Tokewanna, is about 18 miles round trip. The farthest 13er peaks are more than 30 miles round trip. These peaks are wild, see few summits each year, and do not have step by step guides. To take on the challen...

Red Castle and Red Castle Lakes

Evanston, Utah

4.6

23.13 mi / 2149 ft gain

The Red Castle is a stunning formation of crumbling red rock that rises around several small lakes, high in the Uinta Mountains. The trail begins at the China Meadows Trailhead. From there, it heads south for about 8 miles, winding through lodgepole pine forests and skirting vast alpine meadows, slowly gaining elevation all the while. There are clear, well-placed signs along the trail directing...

Kings Peak

Evanston, Utah

4.8

28.56 mi / 5213 ft gain

From the Henry Fork Trailhead (approx. 9400 feet elev.) the trail gains very little elevation during the first 5.5 miles with several lakes to camp by along the way. The first lake reached is Alligator Lake. At just under 3 miles from the trailhead, this beautiful lake is an excellent choice for those who are looking for a nice, easy introduction to the altitude and rigors of backpacking. After...

Hike to Tokewanna Peak in the High Uintas

Evanston, Utah

17 mi / 4202 ft gain

Climbing all of Utah's 13ers is nota popular trend, yet. Most people seek out Colorado's 14ers for their summit height, but don't let Utah's 13ers be overshadowed by their neighbors to the East. Utah's 13ers are remote. The closest 13er to a road is Tokewanna which comes in around 17-18 miles round trip. The farthest 13er from a road is more than a 30 mile round trip hike. There are no trails t...

Backpack Mount Beulah via East Fork of the Bear River Trailhead

Evanston, Utah

5.0

18 mi / 3423 ft gain

Getting thereThis trip could be crammed into a really long day or even two days, but give yourself three days to really enjoy the area and not be too pressed for time.Your departure point is the East Fork of the Bear River Trailhead on the north slope of the Uintah Mountains. For most, this will be a bit further drive than other destinations in the range, but you are rewarded with beauty and le...

Backpack to Dead Horse Lake

Evanston, Utah

5.0

21 mi / 1400 ft gain

Dead Horse Lake is a lightly trafficked and highly scenic route in the High Uintas Wilderness. The trail is easy enough to do overnight but I recommend taking an extra day to explore the area around Dead Horse Lake. From the trailhead you will hike south on the West Fork Blacks Fork trail. The trail follows the West Fork Blacks Fork River through scenic meadows with steep rocky peaks on eith...
