Intro On August 30th of this year, I left out to attempt the 100-mile Uinta Highline Trail. Unfortunately, I quickly found out that my packed sleeping system was inadequate for early September nights above 10,000 feet. I currently plan to re-attempt the trail early August 2026. With many lessons learned during this attempt.
Day one Day one was a day of logistics and not very much hiking. For those of you unfamiliar with the Uinta Highline Trail (UHT) it spans the Uinta Mountain range.
Trail days is an annual festival celebrating the Appalachian Trail and all of the people who love it. During my 2024 through hike, I shuttled back over 100 miles in order to experience the festival. This year in 2025, I flew across the country and did a short overnight hike, NOBO(Northbound) to the city Damascus. Where I met up with so many close friends and celebrated our adventure together.
Hike before the trail Driving into the city of Damascus felt like the wrong way to reunite with the Appalachian Trail.
