We did a great hike up Yellow Pine Creek in the Uintas. There is a trailhead for Yellow Pine right off Mirror Lake Highway that we have passed many times. This weekend we finally stopped and did it! The trail starts right along Yellow Pine Creek and follows the creek up the canyon crossing it numerous times. We hit snow at about 8,500 feet elevation. We hiked through the snow as far as we could trying to follow the trail, but finally had to give up as we couldn't find the sharp left to the traverse. It was a pretty nice hike with lots of elevation gain. Trailhead Elevation: 7,040 feet
High Point: 9,000 feet (when we turned around)
Total Elevation: 2,000 (approximate)
Total Miles: 8 miles
Total Time: 5 hours
