- Sixteen developed trailheads and 545 miles of designated trails give you a choice of everything from easy day hikes to lengthy backpacks.
- Highline Trail weaves through the peaks, meadows, and lakes for the entire length of the wilderness—that’s more than 60 miles between Highline Trailhead on UT 150 in the west and Chepeta Lake in the east.
- The Uinta Mountains form the largest alpine area in the Intermountain West. More than a dozen peaks exceed 13,000 feet, but Kings Peak at 13,528 feet, Utah’s highest, receives the most attention. Henry’s Fork Trailhead, 16 miles away, offers the closest access.
