Beautiful Uintas!

Yesterday we hiked to Ruth Lake, located one hour away from our home in the Uinta Mountains, a range of mountains straddling the Utah and Wyoming border.

These mountains are unusual for being the highest range in the contiguous United States running east to west. Its peaks average 12,000 feet high with Kings Peak, at 13,528 feet, as its highest point and also highest Utah's elevation.

The range is accessed mainly through the Mirror Lake Highway that crosses the western half of the Uintas on its way to Wyoming and presently, during foliage season, the drive is an absolute colorful treat!
