East Shingle Creek Lake

The trailhead for East Shingle Creek and North Erickson Lake is at the top of Upper Setting Road off of UT 150.  The total drive up is about 6.5 miles.  We parked about 2.5 miles from the top (which makes for a long hike just to the trailhead). With the long hike to the trailhead, we only made it about 1.5 miles into the hike.  Shingle Creek Lake is only about 1 mile into the hike.  We turned around at the creek crossing .  The Erickson Lakes were only another mile, but we were too tired to make it.  There were lots of biting mosquitos out.  Bring your bug spray.  Poor Riley was nearly eaten alive by the mosquitos and had plenty of bumps to show for it.
