My friend RaeAnn and I did a 3-day backpacking trip to Red Castle Lake in the High Uintahs. We accessed the trail head from the Wyoming side. The hike was 25 miles total.
There were cool red rocks that glowed in the dusk light. We were there during the peak nights of the Perseid Meteor Shower. I watched the meteor shower with my head sticking out of the tent because it was so cold. We camped at around 11,000 ft in elevation.

We ate oatmeal for breakfast and freeze dried meals for dinner. RaeAnn heated water for them on her portable back packer stove.
This is a make-shift sun shade I built to keep the tent cooler. It really worked. We spent a lot of time in the tent because there were so many mosquitoes.
View from upper Red Castle Lake. The colors are washed out because the dial on my camera was accidentally knocked to a weird setting. I didn't notice because I had my sunglasses on. I am kind of bummed because it was so awesome up there and all of my pictures are washed out and weird. My car is parked at the end of the mountain chain running from right to left in this picture. 
Upper Red Castle lake is held up by this wall of rock that blocks off the canyon. The water runs through via this waterfall. We watched the boy scouts climb all around this area.
