day hike to island lake and big elk lake (western uintas) - September 8, 2012
We will hike to Island Lake and Big Elk Lake and in the Western Uintas via the Smith and Moorehouse Trail at the Ledgefork Campground. This is a beautiful and secluded area when approached from this route. If the weather cooperates and adventurous hikers wish, we can scramble up the boulders to summit Kimberly Peak (11,250 ft). Rated a MOD+ to the lakes; MSD- for those choosing to summit Kimberly Peak. The summit will add another mile to the hike.
