The weekend of 29 Sep 07, Tracy and I decided the hike around the Uintas and enjoy the

great fall colors.  What we got on Saturday, however, was an early season snow storm.  Good

times.  So we hiked about a mile past Fehr Lake (Google Map), and enjoyed the snow.  The

wind was really blowing, and I wasn't really prepared for that kind of cold, so we didn't hike all

that much.  So we headed back home, and then tried again after the storm passed on Sunday.

Sunday was incredible.  We hiked to Notch Mountain (Google Map), and had the normally

crowded trail all to ourselves because of the previous day's snow storm.  There was about 6

inches of snow on the trail, but the day was clear and warming up, so we knew it would be mud

before we made it back...we were right.  When we got to Wall Lake, we saw a good-sized

moose.  Wall Lake was really pretty.  Then we kept going, and hiked up to the notch in Notch

Mountain.  That was also a nice view.  By then the snow was melting, and the trail was getting

muddy.  We went down to Twin Lakes and just sat and enjoyed the day for awhile, then we

headed back.  We stopped and read on the side of Wall Lake for awhile, and then headed

home.  Sunday was a great day, and I love the Uintas when you can escape the people.
