Backpacking in the Uintas



Jason has been wanting to take me on a backpacking trip since last year after he spent a few days in the Wind Rivers Range up in Wyoming. We finally had a weekend available where it would work out for us, so we packed up our bags and headed up towards Kamas. We decided that the Twin Lakes region up by Wall Lake would be our best bet for a beginner trail. However, upon reaching Twin Lakes and running into dozens of noisy boy scouts we reevaluated our plan and hiked a couple more miles up to Ibantik Lake. It was well worth the extra miles and elevation gain! We found a small lake with no one near by and settled in for the evening. The next morning we hiked around some more exploring the area before we headed back up the trail to home. I definitely can't wait to go again!
