Utah's High Uintas Wilderness

In August 2009 I hiked for two weeks in the Uintas. For the two one week loops I shot 900+ photos, and have finished the sifting and uploading. The Uintas has grand alpine basins and vistas, easy long cross country routes, and such remoteness that I rarely saw anyone. On loop 2 Kelly and I climbed Utah's highest rock, Kings Peak. All I'm left with now is the fond memory of a great adventure and these shots to share.
