Over Labor Day weekend, Cole and I went on a backpacking trip to Amethyst Lake in the High Uintas Wilderness in Utah. This was my first backpacking trip ever, so there was a lot for me to learn. Aside from some back and shoulder pain, I was absolutely thrilled with the gorgeous hiking weather we had and our perfect timing to see the leaves change. Cole was a great sport to teach me all about fishing, cooking and cleaning, and making a fire. Hey, I can do all these things in the comfort of my own home, but cooking in the wilderness with no clean water is entirely different! Here are some pictures from our trip to Amethyst Lake. Enjoy!
