20 Lake Trail Loop is an amazingly beautiful trail in the High Uintas. It has an incredible payoff of lakes & amazing scenery the whole way. There are definitely steep, rocky sections. And the back half of the loop, it is very easy to get off course, so be sure to have a map downloaded, and backup battery/charger for your phone. There are so many lakes along the way, and still some wildflowers hanging on. We saw pikas and hawks on the trail. This is one of our favorites in the area. The parking lot can get very crowded quickly, and if you have to use the overflow parking, it adds about a mile of road to hike. We reached the trailhead around 7:30 a.m. and secured a parking spot. We like to do this hike clockwise & get the harder areas out of the way first. We tracked this at just about 10 miles, but we also explored around & hiked around the lakes. I think AllTrails says it is about 7 miles, but I do not think that is accurate (as per usual haha). It did rain on & off on us, which is typical this time of year, so be sure to have rain gear on you.
