Christmas Meadows/BeaverView/Uintas??

[quailraiser]

Hello,

I am trying to get some information on the area of Christmas Meadows, Beaverview, and Sulphur Camprgounds. My father is interested in camp hosting in that area but we do not know anything about it? Is this any area with lakes/streams near by, is it fairly cool year round, etc. Anyone that has been to these areas and could help me with any information would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks

These campgrounds are all on the Mirror Lake Highway. Christmas Meadows and Beaver view are on the north slope and I think Sulphur is back over the summit to the south. All have lakes within short driving distance. All these campgrounds are beautiful and very high in elevation so they stay cool in the summer. They are inaccessible with snow right now. I would consider any of these great places to live as a host during the summer. The only draw back might be the mosquitoes. Some good repellent is a must.

My family used to have their family reuinons at Sulphur. The bad thing is that the campground had a bad infestation of pine beetles and alot of the trees died off, so there's not as many trees there once was. There's a little river that runs really close by the campground that has an abundance of brook trout that are pretty fun to catch. Christmas meadows is also nice. You have to drive on a dirt road for alittle while to get there and there's also a river close by that I've caught some really nice cutts and bows and a few brookies out of. If you feel like and adventure, The Amethyst lake trail head starts right by Christmas Meadows campground. It's a pretty long hike (I would Estimate 6-7 Miles?) and can get quite steep (To me ), but the scenery is amazing in august and the fishing is good. I haven't camped at beaver view, but would assume it's nice. One last thing the mosquitoes are pretty bad if your not used to them.


Well I hope this helps
