These two trails are the highline trail of the Lakes Country, providing a high-elevation route between the head of Shingle Creek and the Crystal Lake Trailhead. Portions of this trail system have been built to a high standard, while other portions are obscure and difficult to follow. There are many alpine lakes along the route.
With a span of 306 feet and a height of 106 feet, Landscape Arch is the largest arch in the park (and the largest or second largest in the world, depending on how it's measured). Landscape Arch is an easy .8 mile hike from the trailhead, with some elevation gain.
This trail follows an adjacent stream through open glades and meadows to Allsop Lake. It is a fairly gentle, rising trail and involves no river crossings. Nice views of the "Falls" apear 1/4 mile from the junction. The lake itself is located just under the crest of the Uintas and is surrounded by some of the most beautiful wildflower meadows in the area.
This easy walk winds through forests of fir and aspen to a huge 500 year old Limber Pine tree. With a circumference of 25 feet it was thought to be the largest such pine in the world, but was later discovered to be 5 trees grown together.
The Little Hole National Recreation Trail is an very pleasant path along the Green River below the dam. It is mostly flat and offers nice views of the river as it runs past canyon walls and forested banks. Most hikers follow it for just a few miles before turning around. The main trail ends at Little Hole, the take-out point for rafters, but you can continue to follow a trail another 2 miles.
