On 27 Jun 09, Tracy and I headed out to Island Lake (Google Map) in the Uintas. We had big
plans of making it all the way to Island Lake, but we were moving pretty slowly, so we only
made it as far as Fish Lake. We ended up camping at McCoy Park and had the entire
meadow to ourselves...that was nice. In fact, we had the trail pretty much to ourselves the
whole two days, and only saw 5 or 6 people. The mosquitos were out pretty good, but some
Deet and the ThermaCall handled them pretty well. But this was a great trail: there were lots of
lakes, and, best of all, lots of wide open meadows. It reminded us of Colorado, which makes
us happy. It was really, really pretty, and I would love to find more parks like this in the Uintas.
Enjoy the pictures, though, because this was one of our favorite places we've found in the
Uintas.
