Among the Trial Lake area of the Uinta Mountains, Lambert Meadow is a great place to explore for the day if you are looking to escape the crowds. Winding your way through the forest, you may encounter many forms of wildlife, as this area is lush with vegetation and water sources. Camping is prime in this area as well, with many spots already set up away from the crowds. Although there are no useful lakes in this immediate area, the views you get are well worth the trade. Be sure to explore the area whether it's for the day or a nice long weekend getaway. You won't be disappointed.

Head east on Center Street/Highway 150 (also known as the Mirror Lake Highway) for 17.8 miles, where the trailhead for Spring Canyon/Trial Lake will be on your left. Continue up Spring Canyon/Trial Lake to Waypoint 4 for the trailhead for Lambert Meadows.
Trails are free of snow according to USFS. Downed trees are probably on the shorter side spurs so have a saw/chainsaw if you plan to venture down these spurs. The Uintas have taken a beating, so expect trails to be bumpier than in previous years.
Loved this trail - was the perfect amount of challenge to make it a fun and interesting way to spend the afternoon with my two sons. The camping spot at the top was a great payoff for driving the whole trail.
This is one of the better trails in this area, providing a few rough spots for entertainment and awesome camping opportunities. It is generally a bumpy trail which means it'll take a while, but the ending is worth it.

Born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah, he's only been off-roading since he was 16 but fell in love immediately. He attended college in Denver for Culinary Arts and Restaurant Management and wheeled in Colorado for 4 years, but ended up moving back home to Salt Lake City. He currently works in an off-road shop and spends his free time doing anything he can to stay busy, which is usually working on his jeep or playing music. Outside of off-roading, he is an avid whitewater rafter and outdoor cook. Camping at least every other weekend in any season is a normal year. The further from civilization, the better. Bring on the memories!
