Red Castle

Over the weekend my friends and I went on a pack trip up in the Uintas... to Red Castle! I had never been there so I was really excited! We drove to Lyman, Wy, unloaded the horses and headed for Red Castle. It took us around 4 to 41/2 hours to get to lower Red Castle on horses! Then we set up camp right by a beautiful lake! I had never been anywhere in the Uintas... it was incredible as you can see! This picture is taken from upper Red Castle. On Saturday we rode the extra way to get to the top! You can't get any higher! It was so beautiful! I borrowed my uncle Barney's horse for the trip and he did great! Then we camped for the night and came back down the next afternoon! They are talking about going again next year for 4 or 5 days and I should have my own horse next spring so then I could go too!

At camp we just let the horses graze! I took this picture out of my tent! This is what we got to look at the whole time!

This is the 5 of us that went... so I was a total fifth wheel! There was at one point quite a few more of us going but they all bombed out... so it was the two couples and ME! YAH! I couldn't get Marc to go...(he's not too crazy about horses...although yesterday I did get him to ride my uncle's horse for a minute!! There is a start!) Anyways... Red Castle is behind us!

This is Red Castle! Kind of fits its name! When I say we went to upper Red Castle I mean we went as far as you can go... not to the very top obviously!

I don't know if I can explain how beautiful the Uintas are... unless you've been there then you know!

This picture turned out okay... we set the timer and had to hurry back on the horses in time!

This is just me at upper Red Castle! I think my horse might be asleep! Ha!
