Uinta the uintas?


Just got back today from camping around 10,000 ft in the Uinta mountains, just East of Park City. It was really pretty, lots of highland lakes, marshes, and rivers. They're home to Utah's highest point, King's Peak, somewhere around 13,000 feet of elevation. The Uinta mountains are also the only east-west trending mountains in the continental US (I don't think that includes Alaska). We spent Saturday hiking about 10 miles, then came back to our campsite to spend the night. The mosquitos were horrible, but they all disappeared once the sun set and the temperature dropped below 60. It was nice to get back into some cool weather again. Hope you all enjoy your week!
