Box Elder Hike

We hiked in the Uinta Mountains. The original plan was to do the Box Elder Loop but Shadow was too tired so we shortened it to a 7 mile hike. We started at 6500 feet and topped out at 9000 feet. The trail was wonderful, mostly shady in the lower altitudes with few bugs if any and awesome views all long.

  • Shadow was very excited and darted off to check on somebody barbequing and it took som cajoling to get him back.
  • And then of course there was the water! He had to take a dip into every stream he could find.
  • Looking for Shadow who heard a stream. He was down in the lake on the bottom left of the picture having a dunk.
  • Starting to get up in elevation. The views were great and the trail was nice. It was used by horses because we saw a some horse droppings.
  • Linda hasnt found her hiking shoes yet so her shoes did not have much traction.
