Incredible Backpacking And Trout Fishing! | Boulder Mountain, Utah
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- 2019 has been a crazy year of snow for Utah, and my favorite local mountain range, the High Uintas Wilderness has been covered in snow much longer than in years past. So in order to avoid the snow and mud, Dane, Wasatch Will and I opted to check out a route on Boulder Mountain in southern Utah. Boulder Mountain is a massive forested plateau that sits above and to the west of Capitol Reef National Park. Many of the drainages and water that feeds Capitol Reef comes from Boulder Mountain. Much of the area sits above 9500' in elevation and is covered in aspen groves, ponderosa pines and is a haven for wildlife.
Enjoy this weekend trip in the Pleasant Creek area where we had the place to ourselves, enjoyed beautiful trails, fished small mountain streams and happened upon some elk enjoying an evening in Pleasant Creek Meadows.

Love the Boulder! My great grandfather was one of the first settlers there. He set up seven of his sons with ranches. The Anasazi museum was the sight of my grandpa's last home stead. He died during the depression at his sawmill on the mountain. He also engineered the Hells backbone bridge. Me my dad nephew, uncles and, 4 older brothers used to spend 2 weeks camping at kings pasture we'd hike to a different lake every day and fish. It's my favorite place in the world
Robert Baker wow that’s amazing history! Thank you for sharing that. The whole Boulder mountain, Capitol Reef, Escalante, Burr Trail area is a special place.
Ah that’s such cool history about your family!
That is some awesome history there. Thanks for sharing!
@@BackcountryExposure Thanks My dad would be in his 90 now His child hood was like living in the 18th century very very remote place kinda makes me sad people have discovered it. How ever I deem you worthy
you probably dont care but does any of you know a way to get back into an Instagram account??
I was stupid lost the login password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me.
@@royalanson1440 I don't do social media sorry dude good luck
This is the first video of yours I've seen. Thanks for sharing it!!
Hey there!!! You were backpacking with a levity backpack.... I purchased one last month... and had my 90 km trail here on Italy..... Utah is awesome .... what a beautiful land!!!! ❤️
Got that boulder mountain itch....
Cool
Subscribed. Supporting my fellow Utahn! Love the videos man.
Did a 50 miler there with our scout troop 40 years ago. Lifetime memories! Great video, thanks👍🏻
Really pretty country! 🌲🌲🌲🍃
What sunglasses are those? Need a new pair for summer and I love these
Very awsome! Thanks for sharing
Sooo cool! We have an Airbnb house in Lyman, so if you need a place to crash before heading up the mountain, let me know. Or need a shower and nap to wrap up a trip :)
Whoa for real?! I spend more time in this area than anywhere else in the state. Message me on Instagram with a link. I’d love to check it out.
I pinged you on FB. Thanks man!
Friggin fantastic views, lovely scenery. Thanks for taking me along. Be well...
Wafting Transient thank you!
Devin, I love your authenticity and enthusiasm! It is truly a pleasure to peak into your adventures. Keep up the good work!
MyraHart thank you!
What time of year was this hike? It says it was done in a heavy snow year but 2023 is shaping up to be a historic snow year breaking all sorts of records. I’m curious to know when Boulder Mountain gets the snow melted thanks
Love it at Boulder Mtn! So many good lakes there. Can't wait to go back there.
Huck Outdoors 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 except when the lakes hard freeze and there’s no fish! 🥴
These are the exact kind of trips I love doing here in Victoria, Australia! Can’t wait for winter to be over so I can go trout fishing again! Great video mate 👍
Love it Thank you👍
Thank you!
Good stuff as always!
WasatchWill 👊🏻
Love the trip report Dev. This looked like so much fun. You did a fantastic job capturing the trip. Some good fishing too. Tight lines my friend.
The Backpack Blazer thanks Dustin! I’ve enjoyed doing more fishing the past couple years. 👊🏻
I love South Central Utah. I was just at Capitol Reef National Park, Escalanate, Boulder, Torrey, and Dixie National Forest. I love how many Ponderosa Pines there are. It's amazing how fast the landscape changes there. You can go from alpine forest to slick rock and canyon country. I didn't want to come back to SLC. haha
Awesome vid, Devin! Looks like you dudes had a great time!
Lead Me Outdoors thanks Matt! Was definitely good company!
We’re logistically close enough that me, you and Jason need to make a trip happen.
This is one of my favorite videos you have made Devin! I have a buddy who LOVES the boulder's for hunting. I haven't camped there myself (besides car camping). Love your channel! Your Podcast is so entertaining as well! Keep up the great work, I appreciate it.
One of my favorite vids of yours for sure! What a great time with those awesome guys! Makes me wish the roads hadn't been muddy so I could have gone up there. I'm going to have to go back.
The Wasatch Gear Review thanks Korbin! You have to go back! It’s just an incredible area. 👊🏻
Thanks Brother!
Nice Job Dev, I will definitely be hitting that place up soon.
Wasatch Back Explorer head down in the fall when all the aspens have changed color! 👍🏻😁
@@BackcountryExposure I was thinking that same thing, it would we super awesome down there in the fall.
I'm pretty sure Meeks lake is named after my great grandma's family and my great grandpa used to stock fish by horseback on all those lakes. Their house is that fly shop you first see driving into Loa. Gotta love Boulder.
Ah that's awesome!
Well done video in such beautiful and vast country. Awesome drone shots as well, having a drone can add some awesome perspective on trips. Thumbs up man, solid video! That is what it is all about.
Thank you!!!
Looks a great trip! Thanks for sharing!
How are you liking at that osprey pack?
Amazing trip bro. Glad the fishing went well. Looks like you found a good place to escape from what the high uintas looked like that week. Good call!
Haggard Wilderness ah it was amazing! Thanks dude!
Sasquatch is also down there, but they're probably a little like finding an elusive and actively hiding needle in a haystack, big area.
Wasatch Sasquatch - Wasatch Wendigo I thought there was something unique about that mountain...
I need to spend more time in that area. I've only scratched the surface and it looks like such a great place. I'm thinking less traveled as well that other areas. Just a guess though. Looks like you guys had fun.
Had a great time! Depending on where you go on Boulder mtn it can be a ghost town or super busy. I'd love to join you if you wanna make something happen.
Who does not have a drone these days?? Well I don't 😩 I don't have the patience for fishing but everything else is awesome !👍😀 Outstanding hike... ATB Max
Great video as always! Love this place especially in the fall. Question for you..... when you fly your mavic in this area, do you experience the birds 🦅 swooping down on it? We flew ours in canyons south of Escalante this spring and had to land for fear of losing it. Happy Trails
I had a couple birds kind of attack it this trip, but that's the only time I've had it happen. Once I got it higher though it wasn't an issue.
What fishing pole setup do you use for backpacking?
Awesome trip vid! Question: at 9:36 it looks like you have a pistol holstered in your pocket. If it is, do you have any plans to do a video on reasons why you may or may not want to carry while backpacking?
Fun to see you and Will out and about again and great to see the GWT, Rim Trail and both lakes looking way more lush than when I made a loop hike there last July by way of the Behunin Creek Trail and Terrace Trail. Did you guys start/end at Wildcat?
Backpacker Diaries yeah start and end at wildcat. Such an incredible area.
Thanks Amos!
I see that you are using a levity pack. Can you please give us a multi use review of it?
David Dark yes I’ll eventually have a review on the pack
What is the pillow you are using?
Sea To Summit Aeros Down Large
How do you guys afford all the forest service commercial special use permits and insurance?
Special use permits and insurance for what?
Ive been told that in order to film or vlog on a national forest or park is only legal if I don’t receive revenue. It’s Like other commercial uses of National Forest System lands or resources, commercial filming and photography requires a Special Use Permit, which is issued by the District Ranger or Forest Supervisor [Authorized Officer] of the relevant forest.
I hope you'll provide a review of the Osprey Levity. I can't imagine there's a 2-lb pack on the market that feels nicer than that one.
WanderingFromKansas yes I will. It wasn’t as impressive for a first trip as I had hoped it would be. But a review will come after more use.
@@BackcountryExposure Have you used a Granite Gear Crown? These two are in the weight and price range in which I'm interested. Oh, and ULA Ohm.
I have carried a crown one time, it didn’t fit my body good at all. So I’ve stayed away.
I have limited experience with ULA, but in terms of frameless I own a couple different Waymark Gear packs and love those. I last year used the Gregory Optic and so far I’ve enjoyed the Optic more than the Levity. Just need more time with the Levity.
What drone did you use for this trip?
Eakins Outdoor Adventures- EOA DJI Mavic Air.
Awesome thank you!
Hey guys, just subbed. Was directed via Paul Messner in UK. Cool videos.
A quick question what are the packet meals you were eating? Do you have a website for them etc to see if I can import to the UK?
Adventure Survival And Bushcraft welcome to the channel! Glad you’re here.
The meals are from Peak Refuel. Website and a coupon code are listed in my video description. 😊
