I have spent a lot of time hiking in the high Uintas in eastern Utah.
The wilderness there is raw and wild. I have seen deer, antelope, moose, elk and other wildlife and have caught and eaten many fish from the thousands of Lakes that are all over the area.
The times that I have hiked there, I always try to bring my camera. The sunsets are spectacular, the lakes are beautiful and the flowers and vegetation are amazing!
In the spring and early summer, there are a ton of Lakes that have Lillypads growing in the water. These lillypads provide shelter and a food source for the insects, tadpoles, fish and frogs that live in the area. At times the mosquitos are so bad that you can’t even breathe without sucking in a few mosquitoes. During those times, it is better to just sit in your tent rather than try to exist outdoors.
