One of the most popular trailhead to Kings peak.

Once of the easiest state high point but very beautiful. Backpacking to Kings peak is always so much fun. Pretty easy trail.

This forested section of the Uinta Highline Trail from the Hayden Pass Trailhead to the Naturalist Basin Trail Junction is either the first or last few miles of your journey on the challenging thru-hike. The Hayden Pass Trailhead, also known as the Highline Trailhead, is a popular starting or ending point for hikers. It features a parking area and a vault toilet. Due to its accessibility from the Mirror Lake Scenic Byway, this trailhead experiences high usage, especially on summer weekends. A federal fee area pass is required for parking. This section of trail is characterized by dense forest, which is different that the rest of the UHT, which is quite open and often above treeline. Wildfires have opened some areas, allowing for glimpses of mountains and lakes through the trees, but much of the trail remains closed in by forest. This section can be heavily trafficked, particularly on weekends, with numerous hikers and their dogs.

Chepeta Lake is accessible via a well-maintained road, making it a one of the only spots for arranging resupply drops or meeting support vehicles if hiking the rugged Uinta Highline Trail. It also could be a potential alternative eastern start/end point for those looking to shorten their thru-hike by a little under 40-miles. Regardless there are restrooms and camping spots nearby, making Chepeta Lake a notable spot along the trail.

Porcupine Pass sits at approximately 12,200 feet and is one of the most scenic and challenging sections of the Uinta Highline Trail. Nestled between Red Knob Pass and Tungsten Pass, it serves as a key landmark along the trail. Offering expansive views of the Oweep Basin to the west and Lake Fork drainage to the east, its summit provides a true sense of isolation in the wilderness. No matter which way you hike it, the ascent is steep and rocky, with loose terrain, so be sure to enjoy the views from the top!

Kings Peak is Utah's tallest mountain. Standing at 13,528 feet, it is located in the Uinta Mountains within the High Uintas Wilderness. The most popular route to the summit begins at the Henrys Fork Trailhead, covering approximately 27 miles round trip. Most hike it as an overnight trip. The best hiking conditions are from June to October, though early summer and fall may present mud, ice, and snow near the summit.

Anderson Pass stands at just over 12,800 feet and is the highest point on the Uinta Highline Trail! It is a long uphill climb at high altitude, so make sure to pace yourself. From the top you'll get amazing panoramic views and the opportunity to tag Kings Peak, just south of the pass.

This visitor center is a great place to get oriented to Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area. You can also enjoy spectacular views into 1,400-foot deep Red Canyon just a short walk to the north, or southeast along the Canyon Rim Trail.
