Yellow Pine Creek

It was a hot day in the valley and still pretty hot in the Uintas.  We had a nice time hiking up the Yellow Pine Creek Trail which follows the creek most of the way.  We made it a little past the fourth bridge which was about 3 miles up.  The trails map indicates the trail goes as far as 4 miles in, but we figured 6 miles roundtrip was enough for this early in the season.  Beautiful day and plenty of water flowing in the creek.  Lots of horses and other hikers, but still a great day on the trail.  The dogs loved it.
