Route Description for Scow Lake Trail
The Scow Lake Trail is a fantastic route in the western Uintas. This trail is challenging and does require route-finding skills. During a wildfire in 2002, this trail sustained a lot of damage and the trail has not been maintained since then. Hikers should arrive prepared with good route-finding skills and an adventurous attitude. Since the fire, this trail has burst back with new life. Check out this route to see the new forest growth and incredible wildflowers that come after a burn.
To hike the Scow Lake Trail, begin at the trailhead and follow the path as it heads south along Boundary Creek to Scow Lake.
Enjoy a rest at Scow Lake and take a moment to soak in the incredible views. When you are ready to head home, simply retrace your steps back to the trailhead, where you began.
