Mirror Lake Highway 8/9

We're lucky to have Mirror Lake Highway (Utah SR-150) just a short drive away. This scenic byway winds through miles of the Wasatch-Cache National Forest and the Uinta mountains connecting Kamas, UT to Evanston, WY. There are numerous campsites, lakes for fishing, and trails for hiking.


(The gang.)

I went up for an night in August to join some friends.


(Stoking the campfire.)

Unfortunately. Mother Nature "treated" us to some much needed rain that day, and it left the ground a little soggy. Still, we had a roaring campfire that kept us warm. And a sturdy groundcloth kept the tent from getting wet.


(Relaxing.)

In the morning, we had a campfire breakfast. Did you know you can cook waffles over a campfire? I never quite got the hang of the iron tho and mine turned out mostly well-done. But enough spray-on butter still made them taste ok. :)


(Campfires are mesmorizing.)

We're lucky to have something so nice as the Mirror Lake Highway so close to home. A day pass is $6 for 3 days and well worth it if you need to get away for a weekend.

'til later,
- Jeff
