All very good information. Done most parts of the trail, but never all-in-one-shot, and everything you suggested and warned us of are quite accurate. Thank you.

[@Packsalot]

Great video and tips for the UHT. I am local to Utah and the Uinta mountains and they are challenging! This is a tough trail but very rewarding. Well done on your trips. Congratulations. Have a wonderful day.

[@TaysonWhittaker]

Thank you

Excellent advice for any high altitude trail i.e., Pacific Crest (including John Muir), Continental Divide. Pacific Northwest, etc. Thanks Tayson.

Thanks

Luv the matching fits

[@winslowwalks]

Great trail to do on a long weekend. Lots of bang for your buck. Wish it was longer!

[@dianacountry]

Looks like a beautiful hike. ❤

[@TaysonWhittaker]

It really is!

My wife and I tackled kings peak last year. Living in Utah and having the Uintas just an hour away is amazing. The highline trail is something we’re super interested in. Thanks for the video and documentary your team made

[@TaysonWhittaker]

Thanks

This trail has been on my radar for several years and the physical/logistical aspects seem doable for me with my current skill set…but…I live and do most of my training at 840 ft above sea level. The potential for altitude sickness is my biggest fear about being that high for that long. My body starts bugging out around the 9k foot mark after 24 hours. My wife said we can’t move to the Wasatch for a summer to acclimate, I asked, so this trail stays on the “wish list” and not the “to do this summer” list.

At times, it looks like your wearing some short of compression socks. Where you and if so, what kind/brand?

[@wdwwawd]

can I hike this in early June or am I crazy. Could I perhaps hike like 12 miles of it from one end and then hike back?

[@juanbackpacks]

Any suggestions about getting to and from the trail heads? I’m flying in this year (probably in July) to do the Uinta Highline. I won’t be renting a car so I’m looking for some kind of shuttle service etc. any leads/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.. I’m looking to go from East to West.

[@andrewduncan7643]

Been wondering the same thing. Any luck figuring a way to the far end at McKee? Looking for a shuttle if there is one too. Hoping to do this mid August.
