Big Elk Lake Uintas Overnight

Overnight backpack with my friend Sterling To Big Elk Lake in the Uintas. The drive up Norway Flats is rough but makes for a short hike to a beautiful place. We spent a part of the day looking for an old mine shaft that is rumored to belong to Thomas and Caleb Rhodes, and originally and old Spanish gold mine. We located an “R” carved in a cliff band of rocks.
