This 110+ mile trek takes us through the stunning Uinta Mountains of Utah, offering crystal clear lakes, lush forests, and awe-inspiring vistas. Our journey starts from the western trailhead, as we make our way eastward, taking on steep ascents, rocky terrain, and unpredictable weather conditions.
During this unforgettable backpacking trip, we encounter a diverse range of wildlife, including curious deer and majestic moose. We hike around some of the highest points in Utah, including the iconic Kings Peak, and witness one of the prettiest sunsets we've ever seen.
Throughout this documentary, you'll see the prototype packs we were testing, created by Outdoor Vitals. Keep an eye out for more information by subscribing to our outlets.
Join us as we tackle the challenging Uinta Highline Trail, pushing ourselves to our limits and experiencing the incredible beauty of this awe-inspiring mountain range.

Joe, you absolutely made yourself look good while bailing. Some people are not mature enough to recognize their limits and make the best choice for the group. You put up a heck of a fight. You moved the needle and that's what counts.

Thank you for this video. The Uinta Highline Trail seems to be quite beautiful, although the idea of 100 miles above 10,000 feet is a bit daunting to those of us who live at 1,000 feet. Still, who knows? With enough conditioning... Subscribed.

Well done on your adventures and your video highlighting the Uintas and your trip. The Uintas are my favorite place to recreate. So awesome. Wow, you all had some amazing experiences on this trail. Take care and maybe I'll see you on the trail someday.
@BeaglesBackcountryAdventures
I love seeing how you guys come together to test your gear for real! Man, you guys had some great weather and views.. Deadhorse was definitely sketchy and challenging but for me it was rewarding as well. As for the burn area bypass route, it was not any better. Constantly lost trail, sunk shin deep in ash mud, etc. Overall a great trip! Congrats to all.

Sensational trek ! One challenge is making the choice between pushing on vs bailing when you are either debilitatingly tired or low on energy. Phe exhilaration of finishing while bailing always leaves questions and lingering self-doubts.

This is excellent. I'd love to do this trail. Hey, just throwing this out there. I've had a total of 11-12 knee surgeries and a back surgery from prior military service. Right now, I have a torn meniscus and I'm bone on bone for my worst knee. My PT person clued me in on the miracle of KT tape for my knee and IT band issues. If applied the right way, it keeps the swelling and pain to a minimum. KT Extreme is an integral part of my first aid kit now. I keep the you tube vids on how to apply the tape downloaded on my phone. I can keep strips on for 5-6 days if I rub it on carefully at first. It is truly amazing to prevent and/or reduce pain and swelling. I don't put in the kind of miles you guys do per day, but I would truly recommend it.
@panhandlejake6200
@panhandlejake6200 Год назад
SUPERB trek! Joe should not feel bad about bailing - a good percentage of experienced hikers would have some difficulty staying with these guys ! The distance he hiked is a pretty standard hike for most people. I would be curious to learn about the food plan each of the guys used on this trip.

Wondering what your stretching routine is during these long hilly days. Knee pain for me tends to be hip/IT band tightness. Cause I'm older, I have to stretch at every pack break, even with my much more casual pace.
@TaysonWhittaker
@TaysonWhittaker Год назад
I've gone through many stretching routines and what I have found is that stretching helps, but then often doesn't help in the long term... It seems to be short term relief. While I still stretch a bit, I focus my daily work on large range of motion exercises usually lightly weighted / loaded. This has paid the most dividends!

This is awesome that you guys persevered. I've been on these long and demanding trails. When you can push through the wall like Tayson did you earned respect. I am disappointed in the quitter. A little bit of knee pain means you haven't trained your legs properly via deadlifts, Farmer's carries and different angles with lunges. You didn't have the heart. Once you quit something, quitting becomes easier each time. The Outdoor Vitals team doesn't just talk about it they live it.

You guys where hauling at an incredible pace! What was your base weight on average and what type of food do you guys buy?
@thetaysonwhittaker
@thetaysonwhittaker Год назад
We all are typically hovering around a 10lb base weight. Since I'm 6'2" and require LongWide pads/sleeping bags + we were taking gear to manage the possibility of temps in the teens, my baseweight ended up at 12 lbs even. That included battery bank and everything inbetween, except another 1.1 lbs in camera gear. Also everyone started the trail with 6 days of food incase we couldn't make the 5 day goal we set out for. Pretty streamline weights, but not overly obsessive...it's just not worth it in country as unforgiving as this country can be!
