Overnight backcountry backpacking/hiking in the spirit of taking less and doing more. Ask yourself: do I really need that?

Whereabouts are you planning?
The Uinta Highline Trail in Utah!
Hey! We are thinking of a hike in the Uintas in September, but never been there (normally we stick more northward). Any tips?
I’ve heard that Red Castle is the best thing in the Uintas and often overlooked. The most popular trail is probably Henry’s Fork to King’s Peak. Lemme know!
Cool, thank you!
That's right! We discussed it a little bit ago. It's definitely on my bucket list.
You're probably just about to leave.
first week of September. it's a high snow year so i'm going to let it melt. wouldn't want to go any later
It's funny how mountain weather works. We've had snow at the end of August or, like last year, we were sleeping at 12,000' mid-October.
You'll probably be on trail about a week, I'd imagine?
planning for 4 days, but I have an extra day if I need it
So, 20-25 miles a day? Pretty good.
yeah i was hoping for 25 mpd, would give me some extra time to take in the sights and sit out rainstorms :)
