Adventure to Utah's Highest Peak in the High Uintas | Base Camp to Summit

Our journey to the top of Utah! #uintas #kingspeak #peakbagging #utah #backpacking #offtrail #hiking

My son invited me to tag along for an adventure to Utah's highest peak, Kings Peak standing at an elevation of 13528 feet. For only my second hike of the summer I was skeptical of my abilities but I was up for the challenge anyway. This trip would be 11 years since I hiked it with him the last time. It will be a great reunion at the summit if we can do it again.

My son had a couple friends from work come with him and I also had a friend from the neighborhood come too. We spent the first night at the Henry's Fork Trailhead before starting our trip early the next morning. We were a varied group. We had an old guy (me), a first time backpacker (Austin), my neighbor testing his abilities (Brian), and the remaining two nursing a hip (Adam) and a knee injury (Miles) from years ago. It was an amazing adventure filled with determination, lots of stories of previous trips, plenty of wildlife encounters, and lots of fun. How many of us made the trek to the summit? Was it hard or easy? Watch along and see how the adventure went. Thanks for watching.

Enjoy!
