  • Overnight UL backpacking trip to Lake Blanche in the Twin Peaks Wilderness! 8 miles out and back, 2713 in elevation gain including fishing Blanche, Lillian, and Florence. Great backpacking trip with just the basics and a desire to adventure! Twin Peaks Wilderness was established in 1984 and ranges in elevation from 5,000 feet to 11,330 which is the summit of Broads Fork Peak. Come along as I head into one of the gems of the Wasatch Range!

    Beautiful! Love last minute trips:) I also love seeing how much I can leave behind and still feel like I have everything I need.

      Thank you! Indeed, backpacking is the ultimate practice in minimalism. I like to throw myself in it sometimes to see how I do. It worked out pretty well and I had an amazing time! Thank you for watching!

      Thank you! The Wasatch is my home range here in Utah. This trail is one of the gems here in Utah. It’s steep, but so worth it!

    Beautiful area. That is a steep trail. No problem with the light pack. Beautiful reflections on the lake. Awesome. Well done on your catches. Cool to see the grayling. Great trip. Nice job on your video. Have a great day.

      Thanks Steve! I thought this one was a appropriate training hike for the RCT that I just finished today! The Graylings in Lillian were a huge surprise! It was fun to visit this place since I haven’t been there since 2014. Thank you so much for watching! Have a great weekend!

    Amazing lake and mountain scenery. Absolutely beautiful to see the waterfall and sunset colors ❤. And a beautiful morning. 18 pounds is awesome for the beginning of the hike.

      Thank you! Lake Blanche is one of the best hikes in all the Wasatch! I had so much fun! This hike does 2713 in elevation gain so good training hike for my long distance trip next week! I love hiking early mornings when a forest is just waking up! My usual weight with food and camera is 24-28 lbs so 18 felt like a day pack. Thank you so much for watching! You and Tim have a great week!

    Looks like a really beautiful area! And the fishing wasn't bad either!

      Thank you! I’m such a Uintas addict that sometimes I forget I’ve got three wilderness areas right in my backyard here in the Wasatch. I haven’t been up here since 2014 so I was overdue for a visit. Thanks for watching! Look forward to your next video!

    One of my more favorite hikes. One time I hiked up past Lake Blanche, up the rather steep canyon behind it towards Mount Superior and Monte Cristo, but not that far. Lots of mosquitoes and water up that way (creek, bog and little ponds), one of the most massive trees I've ever seen as well.

    • @ChristianPaulPhotography
      @ChristianPaulPhotography  Рік тому +1

      It’s a good one for sure! I haven’t been up there since 2014 so I was overdue for a visit. I’ve been up to the falls above the lake. Is pretty neat! Thanks for watching! Have a great week!

    A perfect place for an overnight hike. I try to make it up there at least once a year.
    Great video!

      Thank you! I haven’t been up there since 2014 so I was overdue. It’s a good training hike for my upcoming long trip! We live in such an amazing place to have this in our backyard! Thanks for watching! Have a great week! 🥾⛰️

    What a great getaway! I cant do this with the dogs due to watershed. How where the bugs? I bet not as bad as the Uintas.

      Thanks Jason! This was a training hike for the Ruby Crest Trail that I just finished today! 🥾⛰️🎣🏕️ The bugs were pretty bad in the evening, but not as bad as the Uintas this year. I will be happy when they calm down when fall shows up.
