Rainbow Lake

Every year, my dad goes back packing to Rainbow Lake in the Uintas (its about a 15 mile hike). Growing up, it was one of my favorite trips. Ever since I graduated, I haven't been back until now! My mom came and stayed at our house to watch the kids and Jared and I took off!

Levi, Beaner, me, Dad, & Dad's friend Farren
This is how we slept the first night. It was SO cold. I ended up climbing in Jared's sleeping bag with him...and I was still cold. When we woke up, there was a thick frost all over us!


My sweet husband carried me across this river so I wouldn't have to take my shoes off and get cold! We almost fell :)






This is one of the highlights for Jared...the whole trip he was looking for wildlife, he was quite disappointed until we saw these 2 moose. He got as close as he could and took so many pictures!

  1. how fun that you got to go after all this time! it looks exactly like i remember it. my dad took catherine and i up when we were teenagers too (i think he figured he might not have any boys to take up, so he worked with what he had). now they do a trip every summer with whoever can make it. i hope to make it next year! great pics:)
