      Thank you for the interview! The near-universal consensus is that was the best part! You so eloquently captured why so many of us love wilderness backpacking. And that highline trail certainly is something special!

    Dude that part where you slipped on the snow by Deadhorse... I remember being there with no snow and thinking it was pretty sketchy. Very thin trail and a 20-30 foot drop off just below the trail. Glad you were okay.

    The loneliness question of traveling and hiking alone is so interesting to me - as a woman who travels and backpacks alone frequently, the number one question that I get is how I keep myself safe and if I’m afraid all the time.

    Great video. Are there maps of this trail? I have watched a few videos and it seems like most get an off course a bit. I am an older man who hikes fairly long distances with my dog and this looks like it needs to be done. I am doing the Colorado Trail this summer-early fall. I am an East Coast hiker, White Mountains NH and Long Trail Vermont so I am used to super steep trails and endless rain. I really don’t get lonely but I admit my dog is all I really need. I subscribed. Take care

      Sorry for the long-overdue reply.
      Thank you so much for subscribing! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
      I bought a NatGeo National Forest map or two from a nearby visitor center. I think it was also a ranger station. That got me by. It helps the Uinta range runs east-west, rare in US mountains. Usually aiming roughly for the next mountain top or chasing the setting sun helped me have bearings.
      I see All Trails app has a Uinta Highline map. I haven't used their app much, but it looks worth researching. And you're right. It is easy to get turned around. I did briefly. It's a trail one should always bring an emergency beacon and two-way communication device. I bring a Garmin inReach and corresponding smartphone app. We used it to summon a helicopter when my wife got very sick in the Sierras.
      I can't recommend that little inReach enough.

      @@2fargonebackpacking132 If your looking for a long trail the Sheltowee Trace is an amazing trail. It's around 350 miles. It Strats in Big South Fork in TN and goes north through the Daniel Boone Forest to just north of Moorehead, KY. The Pine Mountain Scenic Trail is another great trail. It goes through Blanton Forest which is the largest tract of virgin forest on the east coast. If you love big giant Eastern Hemlocks and Appalachian overlooks then you'll love that trail. Then of course there is Red River Gorge. That place will change your life. There's just something special about that place. You get a feeling there like no other place on the planet. The Sheltowee Trace will give you all you want in a trail for real. Waterfalls, arches, overlooks, creek crossings, and dense vegetation. There is also another trail I'm not sure if your familiar with that is close to KY, and that is the River to River trail. It is 161 miles and it goes through the Shawnee National Forest. I have not been on it yet but I have a really good friend who has hiked it and he say's it is an amazing trail. Plus, if you would ever want to meet up in KY and hike some trails just email me and we can coordinate that way. I plan on hitting a lot of KY trails next year and I'll probably make it to the gorge at least 3 times next year.

      Thank you! I went around late July. I brought way too much water at first. It was really easy to filter between Al the creeks and alpine lakes. Unless it’s a shockingly low snow pack year, I doubt anyone would have much trouble.
