We started the hike at Ruth Lake, then continued to Lofty
Pass. The hike is beautiful and easy the all the way to the
pass, then it's only about 15 minutes of difficulty up mid
sized boulders. It only took about an hour and a half to hike
up.
It was about an hour and a half drive from Salt Lake.
On the top, it started to rain, and then it begun to hail,
and then it begun to really hail. It was a pretty intense
for a while. Luckily, it only lasted for about 15 minutes.
It could have been much worse.
Afterwards, we stopped in Kamas and ate at the burger shop,
"Dick's". Thiago didn't want to eat there, I told
him it was just the name of the place, not what the food was
made out of.

The hike was pretty easy and very beautiful;but the hail storm was very unpleasant.. it was so cold for me, that my hands and my head were very painful. At least I learned something; always be prepared for a storm!!
