Backpacking in the Uinta Mountains



Beautiful cutthroat trout caught on Burnt Fork creek. I also caught Brook trout and Grayling in this creek.

Austin caught a large 16 inch Brook trout in Round Lake.
Island Lake - about 10,700 feet.

On August 19th I went on a backpacking trip with my brother Marc, nephew Jed, and Jed's friend Austin. We drove to the Burnt Fork drainage on the north slope of the Uintas and hiked in about 5 miles and established a base camp. From there we did day hikes; day 1 to Island and Round lakes and day 2 to Burnt Fork lake.
