Hiked 4.5 miles into the Uintas. Utah is overcrowded! Take me back 15 years

We are definitely getting lots of visitors.

Yeah, don’t go to island lake on the weekends. Plan on 10-15 miles to lose the crowds. For iconic destinations at least.

Provo river drainage almost isnt worth visiting anymore

Yep, I could tell it was Island Lake too. That trailhead is the busiest in the Uintas, I think.

That cliff is a big draw for sure. Lots of fun. Usually only mildly busy late fall or early in the year with ice in it 😁

Two...one Kokanee and one Cutthroat..we trolled for 6 hours

Nice! At least you didn't get skunked.

We ate them today...tasted delicious, especially the Kokanee

Covid shut downs have pushed people outdoors. Another unintended consequence.

Unfortunately, as a general rule (not always specifically), they really do.

Do they wilderness permits in the uintas?

Turd Ferguson

Montana is horrible, you should not go there.

This seems suspicious. TNT wants to move there now out of spite

Covid. Nobody has sports games for their kids and nobody is traveling far.

Probably a decent amount of truth to this.

I hike/fish a ton around the popular Uinta lakes, Heber Valley canyons and Provo Canyon and its side canyons.

Yup. It’s been insane lately, and it sucks.

If it’s solitude you want try going to a basketball game at the Huntsman Center.

Where did you go?

He went to Island Lake, from the clues he included.

jdub

7/13/20 12:53pm

Oh. Yeah, there are definitely options where you won't get in that trouble like Island .

YSMACK

7/13/20 1:08pm

Exactly. That trailhead is the busiest one I've seen in the Uintas, even in a normal year.

jdub

Hike farther? Don't hike on trails?
