Uintah's Camping Trip

So it is towards the end of the summer and I am sad to say this was my first real camping trip for the year. I just spent the last weekend in one of my most favorite places ever; the Uintah Mountains. I was up on the North Slope and we stayed at Bridger Lake Guard Station in the Division of Wildlife Resources cabin. This is a nice little place to stay, it is very quiet and you don't have to share the area with a bunch of other campers like you would in a campground. We had the whole area to ourselves as we were up there on the weekend so all of the workers had gone home for the weekend (they work and stay on the mountain during the week) I enjoyed many outdoor activities ranging from Fishing, riding ATV's, fishing, sitting by the campfire, and some more fishing. It was so nice to get away and be in the fresh air in the outdoors nothing beats it!!

This trip was just a guys trip here is some of the crew


Left to Right- Jared, my dad (Brad), Cortney, Me Missing is Mike and his son Dan they went fly fishing rather then coming to the lake to fish with us.

This picture was taken after a day of fishing at Marsh Lake. It took us forever to figure out how to catch these fish.. they were picky on the color of power bait we used but they were sure delicious eating!! Also the scenery was just lovely!

On this same trip Jared and myself rode about 60 miles (30 each direction) to do a little fly fishing on the Henry's Fork. This was a fun trip because neither one of us had rode this trail before and we had no idea how far it was. We had a blast and saw some great scenery and views on this trail. We found the overlook of the Henry's Fork there is a picnic table out in the middle of no where but you sure have an awesome view.. here are a few pictures to show you how great it really is.

This is is a look to the south back up towards the mountainous area of the Uintah's way off in the distance you can still see some snow on the mountains.. I thought that was pretty cool to see having it be August and all!

Cortney appears to be doing some type of dance.. while cooking a delicious dinner.

And me... going through the Henry's Fork River.. or Creek what ever you want to call it.

This was a very fun trip.. and I can't wait to get back up there to do some camping/fishing!
