Directions: Henry's Fk Trailhead, Uintahs
Activity:
Backpack Kings Peak: 25-mile total out-and-back trail in the high Uintahs. The HIGHEST peak in Utah! Hike about 8 miles into the Dollar Lake area. Break camp. Next morning hike around 10 miles round trip to the summit - ending will be mostly boulder scrambling. Last day hike the 8 miles out and drive home. Very intense hike! Taking the Highline route is very difficult on knees and ankles but 2+ miles shorter. Going through Painter’s basin is less intense but significantly longer. 3 false peaks at the top can be demoralizing, be sure hikers are prepared for these.
Day 1
8-8.5 miles up to Dollar lake. Took us 6 hours with lots of breaks and stopping for a nap. Not steep, beautiful and plenty of water.
Day 2
10-13 miles depending on route chosen. Bring weather clothing, plenty of snacks and water. If you take the Highline trail there it is harder to find water. Recommend carrying at least 2-3L. One small snow patch but easily crossed. 12 hour day during recon.
Day 3
Packed up by 8, got to cars just before noon.
Tips:
Mosquitos are out, be prepared for bugs
Nights are still cold, want warm bag and good pad
Weather is unpredictable, bring rain gear, warm clothes and hats. Rain usually comes in consistantly around 1-2 pm in the mid-late summer
Lots of places to filter water
