High Uinta hiking - best week ever!

No sewing this week!  Why?  There was no electricity.  

My husband, myself, a nephew, and two of my husband's siblings hiked for four days in the Uinta's of Utah - around forty miles.  We took horses for support to pack our camp.  While I have spent most of my life doing horse packing trips - at least one per year for many years - I rarely have hiked.

Here are photos of the crew and the beautiful sights!

We hiked Kings Peak - the highest peak in the state at 13,528 ft elevation.  On the first day in, we talked to several hikers that said they didn't make it up because it was too hard.  I made it - yay!

Do you know the "Where's Waldo" books?  Well, we found him on Kings Peak.  My brother-in-law surprised us by changing his clothes on the way up.  He was quite a hit.  Everyone up there had to have a photo with Waldo.

There were several water crossings.  Only one of them involved taking off shoes and socks.  The others always had rocks we could step on.

We had to filter drinking water.

The camp food was so good!

The last four miles or so brought rain.  Here we are at our destination!!
