Backpacking the Tahoe Rim and Uinta Highline Trails – 2025 Plans!

This summer, I’m tackling two unforgettable thru-hikes: a solo trek around the 170-mile Tahoe Rim Trail and a partner adventure on the rugged Uinta Highline Trail with my wife. In this video, I’m sharing where I’m going, why I chose these trails, and what makes each experience—solo vs. shared—uniquely challenging and meaningful. Whether you're planning your own long-distance hike or just curious about the planning behind two very different backcountry trips, this video offers insight, inspiration, and a look ahead at the gear, logistics, and mindset behind both journeys. #TahoeRimTrail #UintaHighlineTrail #BackpackingPlans #SoloHiking #CouplesHiking #ThruHikingSummer ---------------------------------------------------------- P.S.
