High Uintas Wilderness

High Uintas Wildernessaf Lynn Arave
Bag om High Uintas Wilderness

Author Lynn Arave has compiled more than 190 photographs, including many vintage images from the Wasatch Mountain Club to showcase the Uinta Mountains, known as the "roof" of Utah, with elevations exceeding 13,000 feet above sea level. These mountains, essentially "the Alps of Utah," comprise more than 450,000 acres, with Kings Peak--13,528 feet above sea level--as the state's tallest point. The Uintas are also unusual because they run east-west instead of the usual north-south direction for US mountains. Besides being a significant water generator for three states, the Bear River has its headwaters here, as do the Weber, Provo, and Duchesne Rivers. Much of the Uintas are designated as a wilderness area, and the area boasts more than 1,000 natural lakes. The mountains are a popular recreation haven with superb scenery, camping, hiking, and fishing. Lynn Arave earned a bachelor's degree in journalism from Weber State University. He is an avid hiker and has ascended Kings Peak four times. He has conducted extensive research into the history of Utah and the Uintas. He is also the author of Images of America: Layton, the coauthor of Images of America: Great Salt Lake, and has written other historical books.
