Description

Added by Chris Engelsman

Cuberant Lake offers excellent views and great camping with fewer people than other lakes in the Uintas.

The hike to Cuberant Lake is 3-miles with a couple of steeper sections, but for the most part, it is a flat hike. From the Pass Lake Trailhead, you will head west on the Lofty Lake Loop Trail. On this part of the trail, you pass through meadows with Bald and Reid Peaks in the background, which is gorgeous. As you hike, you'll pass a couple of unnamed smaller lakes. At about 1.2 miles, you will head west on the Cuberant Lake Cutoff trail and no longer be on the Lofty Lake Loop.

There are multiple campsites around the lake. Just hike around until you find one that looks good to you. Once your campsite is set up at Cuberant Lake, you can explore the basin or trek up the ridges to get spectacular views.

Hike the Lofty Lake Loop Trail

Lofty Lake Loop Trail is located in the High Uintas near Kamas, Utah. The trail can be found right off the Mirror Lake Scenic Byway about 32 miles east of Kamas and starts at the Pass Lake Trailhead. This is a fairly mellow trail with some areas of good elevation gain, enough to get your heart working. A daypack and plenty of water with some picnic food is all you really need, unless of course...

Hike to Hayden Peak in the High Uintas

Hayden Peak is by all means the monarch mountain of the Mirror Lake Highway. By that, I mean that Hayden Peak is easily the most rugged and impressive peak that can be viewed from the road. Driving over Bald Mountain Pass towards Evanston, WY, this peak looks amazing. There are few mountains out there that look so picturesque. Any peak bagger will instantly want to climb Hayden upon sight, but...

Take the popular Highline Trail for about 4 miles until splitting off to the Naturalist B...

Hike Bald Mountain in the Uintas

Bald Mountain is one of the most popular hikes in the Uintas, so get an early start if you want to beat the crowds. Those willing to hike in before dawn will be rewarded with an unforgettable sunrise at the summit. I HIGHLY recommend this as a sunrise hike. The trail starts out with steep switchbacks for the first 0.6 mile, and then flattens out into a plateau. Towards the summit the trail stee...
