if you go to the top of guardsmans pass you can hike around the lakes up there, its pretty cool,  and while youre up there you can check out rocker gap.

the shoreline trail is a dope mountain bike ride super close by. Couple different ways to ride it depending on how difficult you want it to be, but even the hardest/longest way is still like 1.5 hours.

Try hiking up bells canyon I live at the bottom and its a pretty short and easy hike to the reservoir and then you can keep going to the 1st and 2nd waterfall then the second reservoir which is at the top and takes about all day but the views are awesome

I live right there too! And i go up frequently; bell canyon is awesome.


Thanks for the suggestions folks. Anyone know anything about maybe natural hot springs? or not so popular lakes? or dank places to grab a bite?

For hot springs check this out.

http://www.onlineutah.com/hotsprings.shtml

Just plug coordinates into google maps and it will tell you where they are.

Also if you have the time take the 2 1/2 hour drive up to bear lake and camp over night. I can tell you a free spot to camp and near an awesome not crowded part of the lake.

For a bit more of a secluded hike go all the way up alta and take the summer road a bit up and hike from there to Fantasy ridge. There usually isn't a lot of people up there and greaat views. Other than that go to the Uintas and hike Bald mountain. Not many people up there either and it's got an awesome 360 view of everything.

I was going to say, Crest Trail is my absolute favorite mt. bike trail in the area. My goal is to ride Crest and Mid-Mountain this weekend.

Donut falls is pretty rad for sure!

And I haven't actually been to bear like, but I've heard awesome things from everyone.
