Uinta Mountain Camping






Our first camping trip up to the Uinta's. Took off Friday after work and drove up to meet with the Schmidt's and their friends. No true camp site was available so they found a few sites along the road. That's typical up in the Uinta's. The site they found was right next to a little stream, very cool to hear the water running throughout the trip.


Friday night was gorgeous with cool temps. Saturday we took off after a feast of a breakfast up to the Provo River Falls, the water falls were nice and cool, or should I say cold.


As you can see from the pics, we all had a good time.


Saturday afternoon was a little warm and muggy, around 3-4 p.m. the rain moved in and didn't necessarily drench us but was a consistent little shower. Dinner was not easy to prepare as the rain kept coming down. We gravitated to our tents around 8:30 or so and basically called it a night. Ali and Brooke and Justin sat around by the fire with the others, the rain slowed a bit so they could sit outside.


Sunday awoke with not a cloud in the sky and things had dried out, considering we do live in the desert, that's not hard to understand.


Can't wait to do this trip again, now that we realize you don't need reservations to just plop your tent along side of the road.


Travis worked most of the weekend so he was unable to join us. His Senior year is approaching fast. His senior pictures are today. wow, hard to believe it's coming so fast.


carry on.

It's amazing to see how much there really is to do in Utah. I never got to see all that when I lived there. You are real Utahan's then :)
