Uintas in August

This August we hiked to Carolyn lake from the Highline trailhead in the Uintas. We began Friday evening hiking to Scudder lake, about 2 miles from the trailhead. As we arrived it began to rain, and continued throughout the night as we set up camp and ate. The following morning was clear, though we began hiking late. Just a mile or two later it began to hail, then snow (as pictured at right). We barely reached Carolyn lake that afternoon just as the weather cleared. A few of us took an afternoon hike to Four Lakes Basin, while the rest remained at camp to fish and rest. The return trip Sunday was clear but muddy and rather long. A fabulous and unexpected weekend. See all the pictures here.
