Lovely opening shots and a nice colourful walk to the lake, bugs apart, as I would hate those. May not be the biggest fish but god to see them biting. Nice to see them waiting for Steve on the way back too lol and it looked like a prime spot. Nice to see the lamas, not something you expect to bump into on the trail every day.....cheers Alan
Good morning Alan 😄 It sure was a surprise to see the llamas! I hunk it would be great fun to take one on a backpacking trip - I’m not sure how fast they would move along the trail - but they sure are adorable! We saw quite a few people riding horses while we were in Utah, but these were the only llamas we saw! Steve had a great time fishing, so many lakes to check out and try, and it’s usually just 10-15 minutes to the next lake. Yep, the bugs were pretty bad 😆😜 Hi to Mrs. M - have a great weekend! Jen
Jennifer My comment kept disappearing. Make it short. Descending and ascending on your way back is challenging. I enjoy the reflections on the lakes that made me think looking at water paintings. I am glad that he had an opportunity to enjoy fishing. Nothing disturbs your tranquility Well done
Hello! Sorry your comments are disappearing, that’s frustrating - happens to me too sometimes! Great to hear from you, thanks! We really enjoyed exploring these mountains- so much to see! 😄☀️☀️
During this season, it’s necessary to take measures against insects when going to nature-rich places🍃😂 Beautiful rivers have beautiful fish! 🐟 The rivers, lakes, and cute flowers make it a great hiking spot😊🥾 The reflection of the mountains in the water was amazing! 😍 Thank you for the enjoyable hiking video👍❤
Hi, yes, we have to share the lakes with all the insects! I love to see them busily exploring the flowers! We sure enjoyed seeing so m any lakes. Thanks for joining us! 😄☀️🐞🦋🎣🐟🌼
such a lovely hike. All the lakes are so cute , and give a feeling of frredom , adventure , and peace. Looks not to dificult. You had a beautiful day. I noticed the contrast with Notch lake, with its mineral ambiance all around. And, of course, a pleasure to watch all these wild flowers. 👍💛🥾
Good morning, many thanks! Once we get adjusted to the high elevation at around 10,000’ the trails and hiking aren’t very difficult. Yes, it was so beautiful- I love the variety of lakes and me too, I’m always amazed at the wildflowers!! 😄🌼💛🌲💚🐞 Thanks - Jen
A great walk and I am loving all the wildflowers. Great forest and mountains. The lake is certainly low. Beautiful lakes and ponds. Lovely place to sit and enjoy lunch. Hopefully the Mozzies stayed away. Loved the Llamas. Great hiking adventure. 👍🏼🙏🏼🤠♥
@@AltoonaYourPiano Hi Matt! Thanks for joining us on the hike! We really enjoyed exploring these mountains and lakes. Great to hear from you! We’ve been a bit busy, so I’m just catching up now with comments and watching friends’ channels. Im going to pop over now and watch / listen to your latest video!! 😄 Have a great day!! - Jen
Blue sky, green forest, lakes and mountains views....Hard to beat! The bugs are bad this season with all this humidity around. Lakes makes it worse.Thanks for sharing my friend. Take care
More pretty lakes, and more wildflowers. I especially love the elephant heads. Those graylings were really pretty, with the longer dorsal fins. I don't think I've ever seen those before. How fun to meet the llamas too! Thanks for the great video! 🥰
Thanks T! I love the elephant-heads too! I’ve seen a few at Mount Rainier before- but never as thick as plentiful as they were over in the Uintas. I think July was a great time, at least this year, to catch the peak of all the wildflowers. The graylings are beautiful - Steve’s first time catching one- fun to get a close look. The llamas were adorable 🥰 Ya is and have a great day! 😄🌼🌼🌼
Great Hiking place/Trail. It did not hurt how beautiful the view is and how good the weather was. Love the Lake and the Salamanders. Great upload. All the best my friend.
Hello Jennifer! Good choice to spray your clothes for mosquitoes ahead of time. Sometimes the mosquitoes can really make things difficult. Such a wonderful hike. So great seeing all of the flowers and lakes along the way. Beautiful forest, mountains and reflections in the water. Enjoy the week my friend.
Hi Gasper- spraying our clothes really helped keep the bugs away. We learned our lesson from a few days before! 😆 O yes, when it’s calm these lakes have some wonderful reflections!! 😄☀️☀️ Thanks!
Wow absolutely gorgeous lake and mountains 17:02. Beautiful trees. Like # 25. Great adventure. Wonderful fish. Lovely weather. Outstanding video Jennifer. Beautiful flowers. Excellent hiking and tour. So relaxing and peaceful. Thank you for sharing this awesome presentation and video. Stay healthy and safe my Friend. Have a wonderful week!
@@NATURELOVERFOREVER Big thanks Nature Lover!! These mountains and lakes are wonderful- so many peaceful places to enjoy. Thanks for taking the time to watch and say hello! 😄- Jen ☀️☀️☀️
Hi Jennifer,, Such a beautiful place to hike!! So many Wildflowers that I have never seen!! WONDERFUL!!I like that boardwalk at 4:52. AWWW Hi Salamander arent you cute!! I enjoy your hikes!! Have a good week ahead!
These mountains sure are pretty, thanks for joining us! The trails are really well marked and there are so many lakes to explore! Yep, Steve had a fun time fishing - they stock a lot of these lakes so here’s a good chance you’ll catch one! Have a great day! 😄🌻🌻 Jen
Thanks- I’ll tell Steve! He was really excited to catch one, or two! There were quite a few there in the creek, really fun to see so many and their different coloring! 😄🙌🙌
I came for the scenery and stayed for the fishing... or maybe the other way around, hard to say 😉. Your plant identification is really appreciated!! Enjoyed seeing this part of Utah again, and then only from Highway 150 and a couple of short hikes off the road while attending a weeklong transportation training course in 2000. It was May and could only go so far up 150 due to the lingering snow on the highway. Thanks for some great scenery and some of the backcountry I missed in 2000. Getting geared up for a road trip to Colorado in late September and October for the Fall colors, some hiking and camping, and some fly fishing too. Safe travels & be well!
@@DrJohn493 Hi, great to hear from you! I hope you have an amazing time in Colorado! Road trips are so much fun, you’ll see some wonderful fall colors there. I wish you success with your fishing! 😄👌 This part of Utah is so beautiful, just a short window for hiking and fishing each summer. I think the snow lingers well into June!! Maybe you’ll be able to go back sometime in July or August. You too, safe travels!! 😄☀️☀️
I enjoyed it immensely! O,Steve finally got some fish waiting for him almost on the way back. Jenn, you found a lot of interesting wild flowers there including those pretty Lewisias and Alpine Laurels. Climbing up home must have been exhausting. L20
@@CeritaFandaVancouver I loved all the flowers! Yes, the Laurels are such a pretty color, and do small! The first time I saw them in the wild was last summer at Mount Rainier… isn’t it amazing to see them in different places- I live knowing there are so many natural gardens in the mountains!! We took our time hiking back, it does get tiring in the heat, lol. Thanks Fanda!! 😄💕💕☀️☀️
Hi Jennifer. This is a great place for hiking. Although there are a lot of fallen trees, the trail is very beautiful, and as always, you found colorful wild flowers. It’s nice to see reflection in the lake and the fishing was also successful. The last part of the trail was a bit demanding.
Hi Vedrana- we felt really happy to be in the mountains, enjoying the fresh air, fishing and finding wildflowers! When these lakes are calm they have some wonderful reflection, thanks!! - Jen 😄🌼🌼
Hi Jen & Steve! A great trail with wonderful lakes that reflected the beautiful surroundings! And while Steve was fishing for grayling with his rod, you captured lots of pretty wildflowers with your camera :) The llamas and the cranes were also a great sight! Best regards from Cologne and see you soon!
@@wandersocken Good morning, thanks for joining us! We sure had great weather and really enjoyed hiking and exploring in these high mountains! Fun to see so many wildflowers… o yes, fun to see the cranes and quite a surprise to see the llamas! 🩷💕😄 All the best from Washington! Thanks Micha and Iris! ☀️☀️
Hi Jennifer! That was such a beautiful hike. Loved seeing all of the lakes and flowers along the way. I did not know if there are salamander in the lake, that there likely aren't any fish. So I have learned something today. I would have been really excited to see llamas as well. They were so cute! Anita. 😊👍
@@blendedtravels Hi Anita! Yes, we’ve just learned recently about the Salamanders too - from Steve at Packsalot- these are his local mountains, but I’m sure it’s true in all the high mountain lakes. I loved seeing the variety of wildflowers, and the cute llamas too! Thanks/ Happy Tuesday! 😄🌼🌼💛
Hello Jennifer, love your video as always my friend, the places you share are absolutely breathtaking. Thanks for sharing and hope you have a blessed rest of the week my friend.
@@RandWFarmstead-TonyWalsh Good morning Tony! Utah has quite a variety of natural landscapes- red rocks in the southeast and these high mountains up near Wyoming. Thanks for watching and saying hello! You too, have a blessed day- Jen 😄☀️☀️
Hi Age, they sure do! Really well marked and leading to so many pretty lakes! Do you fish? There are quite a few rules to know in Washington, Steve is much more familiar with them - we’re going to try some fishing her too- but it’s much easier to fish these lakes, once you’re in Utah, that is, lol! Take care, Jen 😄🎣🎣
Seeing so many great wildflowers!! Not so sure about a 3:30 start for a sunrise from that other group! Yikes! lol WOW...where's the water gone!! A wonderfully peaceful location for sure...and such a beautiful day to enjoy it!
3:30 sounds too early for me too! I like to start at about daylight at the earliest. I guess that one lakes draws down quite a bit each summer, must be draining to the other lakes. On some of them the old timers built dams to keep the water level high. Thanks Bruce!! 😄🌻🌻
Such a peaceful hike. I enjoyed seeing the variety of wildflowers. It was surprising how that one lake had dried up so much - I assume it drained away to lower altitudes? Looks like such an amazing area and great to see it through your eyes. Edit: OMG those people with the llamas must have been a huge surprise! So beautiful!
Good morning Donna! Yes, that one lake that was so low was quite surprising! I gather the lakes are snow fed and this one does tend to drain out during the summer, which is short I might add! The snow doesn’t really melt until June… then starts again in September most years. It sure was a fun surprise to see the llamas! They were adorable! Thanks!! 😄☀️☀️ Have a great day!
Hi Jen, nice scenery as always. I didn't realize salamanders mean no fish. I assume it's a competition for food thing? Interesting. I loved Bench Lake, really pretty. Nice work as always. Cheers.
@@flynorthproductions Hi Daryl- I’m not sure exactly, but our friend Steve (packs-a-lot) lives in Utah and fishes there a lot- he says you only have one or the other. I think it’s how shallow and relatively warm the lake is and maybe that the salamanders eat baby fish? O yes, the lakes all have different looks, similar elements, but it’s amazing how different they can be! Thanks!! 😄 Jen
Awesome hike Jen and Steve! I bet if he'd had a net he could have scooped up several of those Graylings. I am curious,did you two suffer from the elevation change? I really need to get llama to carry all of my gear,lol! I hope you had a wonderful birthday Jen!
@@JimHayesHiking Hi and thanks Jim! I had to work a bit and got to play a bit too👌 Yep, if Steve had a net that would have been fun- weren’t the Graylings pretty! As for elevation, we’ve gone up to the high Uintas a few times now, and it gets easier each time, in that you know what to expect and how to adapt to the elevation. It starts to affect most people at 6,000’. The first time I had no energy or appetite.. finally some salty snack bars helped me get my appetite going. It takes about 3 days for us to adjust, with no medication, just taking it slow. We were camping at 8,000’ and hiked at 7,000’ the first day, then a short hike at 10,000’ the second day and then back to 8,000’ to sleep. It’s so pretty there, it’s worth it to us to take it slow and enjoy- we were there about 10 days so we felt great the last week.
Enjoyed the video. Notch lake reservoir is pretty much drained by the middle of July and it is ugly as sin. Bench lake is very pretty and peaceful as you stated but the lake is not stocked with fish.
Hi- yes, it was quite surprising to see Notch Lake so low... we hadn't expected that. Yes, we really enjoyed Bench Lake, so peaceful with a great view of the mountain. Thanks!
Well, it takes time each visit to acclimate. We camped at about 8,000’ and took it slow at lower elevation for a couple days. Then after 2-3 days you get adjusted and don’t really notice it! 😆😄 Thanks!!
@@Davids_Mandarin_Musings Hi David! Have you visited Utah? This area is basically east of Salt Lake City - beautiful to be up in the high elevation mountains- thanks!! 😄☀️☀️

@@JimHayesHiking Hi and thanks Jim! I had to work a bit and got to play a bit too👌 Yep, if Steve had a net that would have been fun- weren’t the Graylings pretty! As for elevation, we’ve gone up to the high Uintas a few times now, and it gets easier each time, in that you know what to expect and how to adapt to the elevation. It starts to affect most people at 6,000’. The first time I had no energy or appetite.. finally some salty snack bars helped me get my appetite going. It takes about 3 days for us to adjust, with no medication, just taking it slow. We were camping at 8,000’ and hiked at 7,000’ the first day, then a short hike at 10,000’ the second day and then back to 8,000’ to sleep. It’s so pretty there, it’s worth it to us to take it slow and enjoy- we were there about 10 days so we felt great the last week.
Enjoyed the video. Notch lake reservoir is pretty much drained by the middle of July and it is ugly as sin. Bench lake is very pretty and peaceful as you stated but the lake is not stocked with fish.
Hi- yes, it was quite surprising to see Notch Lake so low... we hadn't expected that. Yes, we really enjoyed Bench Lake, so peaceful with a great view of the mountain. Thanks!
Wow those high elevation lakes sure are pretty! How did the elevation affect breathing?
Not that I ever use one…A UV filter will cut right through the water glare. Nice Utah series Jennifer!
Carry on llamas lol
Ah thanks! I’ll have to get one!
Well, it takes time each visit to acclimate. We camped at about 8,000’ and took it slow at lower elevation for a couple days. Then after 2-3 days you get adjusted and don’t really notice it! 😆😄 Thanks!!
Eso es semi desertico no
Yes! Thanks! 😄
Thank you for the wonderful views from your hike ~ I love that y'all are traveling around to trails in different states, super cool
@@Davids_Mandarin_Musings Hi David! Have you visited Utah? This area is basically east of Salt Lake City - beautiful to be up in the high elevation mountains- thanks!! 😄☀️☀️
@@JenniferLupine Many many years ago I spent some time around Salt Lake City ~ I loved the area ~ super beautiful
