We left early Monday morning to head back up to Washington Lake again. Shortly after arriving we decided to hike to the top of Bald Mountain while the weather was nice. In the Uintas you never know how long the good weather will last. It usually rains in the afternoon.
On the way to the top of Bald Mountain we go through this forested area we call "Christmas Tree Lane".
As we begin to ascend we can see so many lakes down below.
The vegetation gets very sparse the closer we get to the top. I found these wildflowers poking out of some rocks.
At the top there are a lot of cairns people have erected.
I never would have thought such a pretty little butterfly would be hanging out at the top of the mountain.

Heading back down.
The weather was still holding when we got back from our hike so we hopped in the caone to do some fishing.
There are a lot of Tiger Trout that were planted in the lake this year.
The lake was sublime.
That night after dinner we made Ho Dduk. A Korean street food. Alex had bought a mix for it at a Korean market last week.
The next morning we went on another hike. This one was completely different from the Bald Mountain hike. We passed along the shores of three different lakes.
There were 5 of these wooded footbridges along the way.
Wildflowers lined the trail.
We stopped to fish at Tail Lake.
Then stopped again to fish at Shadow Lake.
This was a little bridge made out of a very large rock.
We passed by several gorgeous meadows as well.
So, we got our fill of fishing and hiking. We have another trip planned to the lake in August. Yay, we can't wait!
