Any updates from the east end of the Uintas like Chepeta or Spirit Lake areas? The 10k+ snotels over there ran out of snow more than a week ago, wondering how possible a JUly 4th backpacking trip to the area is going to be.

Spirit lake still a no go - I am going this weekend to check it out again - and will check out Henry's Fork and China Meadows. The snow is still incredibly deep at the 10000 foot level - it is like a distinct line in that there is no snow at 9300, then at 9500 it is constant snow. I will have a better idea after this weekend.
Biking, Hiking, and Fishing are life. Everything else is just fluff.

Here's a pic of Trial Lake from yesterday. We fished for about an hour or so but only caught a few.

I hiked Shingle Creek this weekend. Nothing much until about 8800 then patchy to just below 9000 where it became 3-6 feet deep. I'd say it will be three weeks before it's to typical July 1st levels based on comparisons in the same spot from previous years. How was it on the east end?. I'm really hoping I can get up there next weekend.

The China Meadows and Henry's Fork trailheads are clear of snow. The road from the China Meadows campground to the trailhead was closed due to damage. The forest service said they are going to try to open the gate to Spirit Lake this weekend. I am thinking of trying to go up Henry's Fork or Red Castle this weekend as the snow looks as if it is melting out fast. China Meadows is around 10000 feet and it is no meadow, but a huge lake.

Today my dentist told me he was upKings Peak area last weekend. They camped at dollar lake and got tired of post holing around gunsight pass. He said it was wet but snow free aroun 10,000 ft.
He then went on to tell me about his through hike of the Winds he's planning for August. Yes my dentist is cooler than yours.

The Utah State Route Seasonal Closure List still shows Mirror Lake Highway Closed :(
Glad to see that picture of the ice partly gone from Trial Lake and that you caught a few fish. The pictures I took about 4 days ago at lily barely showed signs of water peeking through. I hope that there weren't too many winter kill casualties.
The pictures I took are still up on my blog http://ryanfreakingwood.blogspot.com. If anyone goes up there this week or next please take some pictures. Also the Snotel Report site that I was given shows about 30" of snow around Trial Lake as of this morning. Its lost about 13" of snow since last Thursday when I was there.Customizable Adult & Kids shirts, onesies, and More

So the DWR site lists Browne Lake as closed because of a mudslide. Can anyone confirm this? I am planning on heading to that area this weekend. Hopefully Spirit Lake will be open by then also.
