Backpacking

Backpacking to Abes Lake, Uintas

Backpacking to Abes Lake is located in the Uinta Mountains, and sits and an elevation of 9800 ft. The trail follows the Middle Fork of the Weber River for the first 3 miles, then take a sharp left turn where the trail gains 1200 ft in just 1.2 miles before reaching the lake. The trail gets very hot in the middle of summer, and the dirt trail can get too hot for dogs' paws and potentially yourself.

Hiking to Murdock Mountain, Uintas

Hiking

Hiking to Murdock Mountain, Uintas, Day hiking in the Uintas, Uinta peak bagging

Murdock Mountain is a hidden gem in the High Uintas Wilderness, located just off the Mirror Lake Highway in Utah. Unlike the popular nearby Bald Mountain, which sees hundreds of hikers each summer, Murdock sees fewer than 75 people reach its summit annually. This makes it a perfect destination for solitude and stunning views. The route is off-trail but manageable—only 1 mile of easy boulder-hopping leads to breathtaking 360-degree vistas.

Hiking to Reids Peak, Uintas

Hiking

Hiking to Reids Peak, Uintas, Uinta peaks, hiking in the uintas, hiking in utah with dogs

Reids Peak (11,708 ft) is located in the High Uintas Wilderness, just off the Mirror Lake Highway.

There is no trail to the summit and requires light scrambling, so it's not a good peak for the average/newbie hiker. Typically, only experienced peak baggers are the ones looking to make the summit, and knowledge of route finding will make this hike successful.
