Northern Utah / Aug 1-3 / Help me pick a spot
I have the first weekend in Aug available and I would like to get together with some folks. Help me pick a location in northern UT and let's see if we can get a few people that missed out on the trip down south. (Of course those of you that made the trip south are also more than welcome to join me again.) ;)
Here are some random suggestions.
Washington or Trial lakes with hikes to Wall, clyde or Twin Lakes. (Campgrounds with hiking options.)
Trout Creek (Wilderness area by the ladders at Strawberry)
Flaming Gorge (Anywhere, but I would prefer the area below the dam. I would like to fish in the aquarium again.)
Anything closer to the SLC valley or maybe Cache valley that you would like to visit???
I'm open to suggestions...
Re: Northern Utah / Aug 1-3 / Help me pick a spot
I'm busy from now until July 14th and scout camp is July 22-27. That pretty much makes those dates the first available, unless I sneak out for a night. That wouldn't be good for a group hang, but it might help my sanity. ;)
Re: Northern Utah / Aug 1-3 / Help me pick a spot
I'm spending the last week of July at Steiner and I'll likely hike to Ruth, Kamas and other lakes in the area with some scouts.
I'm leaning towards the Green and possibly doing a float trip on Thursday. Anybody else up for a float on the Green?

I can do Grantsville that weekend. I might be flying solo, but I'm not sure. Check out an area and let me know what you come up with. Day hikes, fishing and general lolly gagging are all ok with me. ;)

Odie I hope that you can't respond to this quickly because you are having such a good time on your first hang (which I hope is going well :)), but how is the fishing at South Willow lake? I'm not sure if I can come yet since my wife will be 8 months pregnant, but I'd love to go with you guys! I just might have to wait till we get a little closer.

Perfect! I looked at a few websites and it didn't say anything about fishing at the lake so it got the wheels spinning, a lake with no fishing! :scared:

Does the weekend after work for you?
I can always go fish the aquarium that weekend and head west the next weekend.

I still won't be sure till we get closer unfortunately, but I will do everything I can to come. So is everyone wanting to do a car camping trip then? I just have to say that I was in the Uintas this weekend and it was amazing! Just throwin it out there:)
Re: Northern Utah / Aug 1-3 / Help me pick a spot
Sam - I will be a little farther up 150 the last week of this month. I have heard this was a bad bug year up there. I'm hoping it isn't as bad as I have heard. :eek:
Hiking in the Uintas is always a good trip, even if the skeeters are thick. I have three trips planned up there this year. If I can add more, I will... :)

I have seen Amethyst Lake before. It has been a couple years though. I might have to go back again soon.
