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.
