Kings Peak

Evanston, Utah

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...

Red Castle and Red Castle Lakes

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...

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...

Hike the Red Canyon Rim Trail at Flaming Gorge

Daggett County, Utah

5 mi

If you only have time for a quick trip to the overlook, the main network of paths leave directly north from the Red Canyon Visitor Center and lead to a few viewpoints that provide impressive vistas to the east and west. For those looking for more solitude away from pavement, the Red Canyon Rim trail heads southeast from the visitor center toward Green Lakes and Canyon Rim campground, and is al...

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...

Hike the Desert Voices and Sound of Silence Trails

Vernal, Utah

4.7 mi / 340 ft gain

To get to the Sound of Silence trail head from the entrance of Dinosaur National Monument in Jensen, UT stay on US 149 past the visitor center and you will see parking parallel to the road in about 2 miles on your left. The views are amazing as soon as you get on 149 driving into the park as you follow the Green River and get closer to the beautifully colored desert sandstone cliffs and hills....
