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.

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.

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

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

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

Tayson, It looks like you took a solar panel with you. How well did that work for you? We are planning on doing the trail this July planning on doing it over 10 or so days. If Joe wants to do a revenge tour, we would love to have him along. I just bought a bunch of your gear to lighten my pack.

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

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.

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?
