In reply to Hannah C. Water crossings were fine but we did it in the fall. I don't recall anything difficult having said that.

What were the water crossings like? Any bigger rivers/creeks that you have to cross without a bridge?

We’re hoping to do the trail in late July, but we know it’s been a record snow year so far. We’re not so worried about snowy conditions in the mountains, but I’m short, so deep water crossings can feel really sketchy. Thanks for the info!

Recently hiked in Sept 2021. Stream was flowing in south Manila Park, cutting the easterly water carry in half. Navigation was challenging, but doable with paper map + GPS.

In reply to John Baker. I did this hike in 2012. Navigation is definitely tricky. The Uintas have lots of water which equals lots of mosquitoes. If that will deter you I recommend waiting to mid August. By then the mountains will have a had a frost to kill off the bugs.

In reply to Jason.

There are two different journals here. Andy’s are in italics and not my writing. If anything, my writing is called terse…as you noted about the logistics.
(Also, seven years ago the Oxford comma did not have the popularity it employs today. I have edited some parts to fit current tastes as that is what I use myself. I did not edit Andy’s entries and made his contribution more noticeable.)

Check your email to confirm your subscription.

The author seriously needs to review the use of a comma. And/or PM Mags needs to edit this piece for clarity. This is at times very hard to read.

That said, the logistics and detail of the trail are very good.

Mags,

Pertinent update to trail logistics: Wilkins Bus Lines seems to have shut down: http://wilkinsbuslines.com/
