Wall Lake

Mirror Lake Scenic Byway.  Crystal Lake Trailhead.  Wasatch NF. The Utah and Wyoming trip was fabulous!  ~ 1300 miles driving over 8 days and 75 miles or so of hiking.  Biggest takeaway: the Uintas are tough to penetrate!

Lofty Lake Loop

Image
From the Pass Lake TH. On Mirror Lake Scenic Byway.  Western edge of the Uintas.  Below is Lofty Lake, at the high point of the trail. From this spot you can see four major river drainages start: the Bear River (goes North), the Duchesne River (South), the Provo River (Southwest) and the Weber River (Northwest).  Picture below is looking South down the Duchesne River valley.

On the Pole Creek Trail.  Bridger Teton NF. Outside Pinedale, WY.  Beautiful meadows, or "parks" as they're called on the map.  This is called Miller Park, on the way to Photographer's Point.
