I had a great visit regardless.

Continue down the hill and pass the Yellowstone Group Campground and Bridge Campground, crossing the river again back to its east side.


From this point, drive Uinta County Road 283 (also named Forest Road 072) south toward Grahams Reservoir and Bridger Lake for 12.1 miles to Forest Road 017.

This is a good spot to camp or you can continue on and setup camp closer to Gunsight Pass. No rain or mud, no insects or unstable boulders, no horsesh*t or noisy gangs of scouts, just what kind of a "turture" is it?

Apparently one has to climb directly up from Gunsight Pass in order to stay above the cliff band and large talus slope. I don't feel so dumb now- it may not have been there in that time frame.

Happy hiking, and thanks Matt for this page. At mile 21.9 turn right. If you're coming from the east in Roosevelt, Utah, continue south through town on US Highway 40 / 191. At this point turn left (east) and cross via a log bridge.

It is the seventh highest of the U.S. State Highpoints and located approximately 42 miles north of Duchesne in the High Uintas Wilderness Area of the Ashley and Wasatch National Forests. After about 3.6 miles, you will reach a junction where you turn left and cross Sheep Bridge and onto the Chain Lakes Trail. From there it was up to meet the trail and onto glory. The only lake along the direct route is Dollar Lake, a smaller, very popular lake amid the trail. As the highest summit in the state, 13,528-foot Kings Peak is affectionately known as the Ceiling of Utah (although prior to satellite measurement in 1966 the highest summit was thought to be South Kings Peak, the summit of which sits at a mere 13,512 feet of elevation). Information regarding the conditions for climbing Kings Peak can be obtained from:Wasatch-Cache National Forest

Backpacking in gives you the time to enjoy the beautiful basin, explore other lakes and spend time on the peak to soak it all in. What a mistake! Where State Highway 134 begins to head due east at Mountain Home, Continue north on 21,000 West and turn right on 20,780 West at the T junction 0.7 miles north of town. Children refers to the set of objects that logically fall under a given object. The trail heads in a Southerly direction on a gradual rise.

Kings Peak is the highpoint of Utah, and of Duchesne County. In my opinion, this is the way to summit King's Peak. Any of these lakes make a fine campsite.

I am very thankful to be able to adopt and continue to provide lots of information about this wonderful peak here on SummitPost.

Do you have any advice?

Staying on the east side (side facing Painter's Basin) is what I'd advise to anyone since the other side is basically a cliff face. After crossing continue heading in a southerly direction for another couple miles where you reach Dollar Lake.

Cross the Yellow Stone River and continue 5.5 miles on the now gravel road to the forest boundary where the road turns into FR 119. From the Peak you can see the optimal route as green patches on the opposite slope that avoids the bolder fields. Continue contouring around the peak to the saddle finally joining the established trail from the south below Anderson pass. Other routes begin in all cardinal directions, through Painter Basin, Garfield Basin, and Mt. Do not proceed directly toward Anderson pass, this route looses to much altitude.

Its like climbing an escalator the wrong way, but it wasn't impossible (I was alone so I didn't worry about falling rocks). It' s the forest service which is charged with removing registers from up there.

I'll probably make a summit report on this one since I have some cool pics. Take exit 39 off Interstate 80 on Wyoming and turn south on State Route 414. It is certainly climbable any time of year however mid-winter ascents will require skis, lots of warm clothing, a liberal dose of spare time and a love for sub-zero temperatures and hurricane force winds!Camping can be found at any of the trailheads without charge and there is no red tape.

Most people were turning back and so did we. (801)524-3900The register comes and goes.

This time our group consisted of three dads, our 12 year old sons and my King Charles Cavalier Spaniel - great hike. Climbing history. Springtime skiing typically has mild temperatures, and in good conditions, glide back from the upper basins to the trailhead may take mere couple hours and little effort, making daytrips to the peak a cherished tradition.

Stay on Highway 121 as it quickly bends to the north.
