Overview:
We’re headed to the north slope of the Uinta Mountains, the highest mountain range in the lower 48, and the only range that runs East to West! Up above 10,000 feet you’ll breathe in the crisp, clean air, find thick pine forests, lots of crystal-clear alpine lakes, and an occasional old loggers cabin.

What to Expect
Straddling the tallest mountains in the lower 48 and the Wyoming border the High Uinta’s Safari will take you from Mirror Lake all the way to Flaming Gorge with breathtaking vistas, muddy roads, and the chance to spot Moose, deer, elk, mountain goat and maybe black bears! We’ll camp two star-filled nights with cozy campfires and a need for a warm jacket.
How to Prepare
We’re preparedness aficionados! All Western Overland Adventures require participants to be self-sufficient in terms of food, water, fuel, camping equipment, and vehicle preparations. You can find detailed information on how to prepare with our Vehicle Gear Requirement and Camping Requirement lists. This tour is rated a 2 on our trail difficulty scale. In order to register, your vehicle must meet the minimum requirements for this difficulty rating.
On the High Uintas Safari, you will have approximately 100 miles between locations with food and fuel availability (depending on reroutes) over mostly maintained, dirt and gravel roads with occasional rough, unmaintained two track. Additionally, much of the area that we will be in has little or no cell phone coverage.
Weather is a factor that no one can control, so plan for the unexpected. Late June in this part of Utah is usually warm during the day, but temperatures can drop significantly at night. Summer rain storms are not uncommon at this time and this can alter the trail and camp conditions; please plan accordingly.
