Kings Peak

Uinta Mountains
13,528'

By Jared Carson

Nick popped in and proposed we go hike Kings Peak
in one day. He had gotten the idea from a good friend Bob
Palais who said to start driving from SLC at 3:00 AM, arrive
at the Henry's Fork Trailhead at 5:30 and hike all day and arrive
back in SLC at about 10:00 PM.
We decided we would be in pain for a couple of days and
followed Bob's directions. We got to the trailhead at 5:45 AM,
and got to the peak at 11:00 AM.
The hike down was brutal, for more than a few reasons.
Both our legs were jacked, and I had a completely different
problem at hand.
Looking back I'm glad I did it and Nick feels the same
way, but neither of us want to do it again soon. Take 3
days and enjoy the scenery. It was beautiful.

Highest Peak in Utah

30 miles long
