Loved your video. Me, my dog Athena and two 19 yr old girls from BC did the Highline from McGee Draw north of Vernal in August 2022. I'm going to do it again this August or September and we'll start from Leidy Peak like you did. Thanks for sharing your adventure!
Well done with the challenges you had! I did Chepeta to Hayden Pass in 2022. I stayed at the same camp at Kidney Lakes. Red Knob is tricky. I thought harder than Deadhorse. Oh no! The Garmin! Crazy you went back for it in the dark! Respect for doing Red Knob twice! You went for the deadfall route in Rock Creek. We did the Jack and Jill route because we were Tenkara Fishing. It's more scenic, and you done have to cross the river. Ouray Lake was one of the prettiest settings I have ever seen. Carolyn was our last night too! Congrats on your Highline!
September 8-13. I downloaded a few maps from all trails. Because I'm paranoid, I also did have the national geo paper map and also downloaded onto my Garmin.
