Moon Lake Camping Trip

My family has property in Duchesne county and whenever we are there we like to take day trips to the surrounding area.  On one of our trips we discovered Moon Lake on the back end of the High Uintas and I liked it so much I booked a trip at the resort for this past week.
I stayed in a "rustic" cabin which means that it does not have a bathroom (a really nice bathroom with a shower is just steps away).  It has a kitchen, with a sink, stove, and refrigerator, a table and four chairs, and two double beds.  You have to provide your own dishes and bed linen but they can be rented for a small fee.  It rained every day I was there in the late afternoon and I really enjoyed staying inside under a blanket and reading.  It was so relaxing.
I spent every morning at the lake.  You can rent motorboats, kayaks, canoes, paddle boards, and life jackets from the resort but the water was absolutely freezing (some kids still went swimming) so I stayed mostly on the beach.  It wasn't very crowded so it was really nice.
Every cabin has its own fire pit and seating area (you can also rent grills and picnic tables) and I spent every evening sitting by the fire.  It is my favorite part of camping!  Most of the cabins were occupied but they were far enough apart that I didn't really interact with anyone and it was very quiet.  The staff was very friendly and helpful (there are lots of other amenities available such as mountains bikes for rent and horseback riding).  I had a wonderful time (even without Wi-Fi) and I would highly recommend staying at the Moon Lake Resort (go here for more information and reservations).

Fourth of July at the Property

I joined my sister Kristine and my brother-in-law Trent at the property for the long Fourth of July weekend and it was an amazing trip!  I love staying at the property and it was so nice to have several days to relax this time!
When we got to the property we drove around to all of our favorite places nearby (my favorite is this formation that looks like the face of a Native American chief).  Then we came back and grilled brats and sat by the fire.
The next morning we took a day trip to Moon Lake on the back end of the Uinta Mountains.  It was a bit overcast but it was beautiful (I made a reservation to stay in one of the cabins in August).
Ebony was living her best life fetching the world's biggest stick from the lake (we brought it with us when we left and she played with it later that night).
On our way to Rock Creek we saw the Upper Stillwater Dam (the water is at historic levels!).
We had a picnic at a site in the Rock Creek campground at it was so beautiful (it started raining as soon as we finished).
When we came back to the property we barbecued burgers and I made a flag cake (I make it every year even when I am camping!).  After dinner we built another epic fire and sat outside until really late.  It was such a perfect evening because it was cool and overcast but only rained for a few minutes after we went to bed!  It was the best trip!  I hope you had a wonderful holiday with family and friends!
