    What a nice lake Arta Lake is. You'll in fact wish for more hours in a day to enjoy all the fun stuff in the Uinta Mountains. Stay the night at Castle Cliffs Campground; Lodge at Stillwater is a pleasant place to get some rest. There's perfect hiking along the Slope Trail, and since you might be in a lake visiting mood you can always stop at close by Survey Lake. Arta Lake is a beautiful lake in the Uinta Mountains.
This lake is so wonderful. Throughout the
 
   summer, highs frequently are in the 80's at Arta Lake, and during the night it cools down to the 40's. The wintertime brings highs down to the 30's, and during the dark hours in the wintertime at Arta Lake temperatures plunge to the 10's. If you go for the outdoors, you'll go for Arta Lake. In case you don’t have a problem getting dripping wet, you can always go whitewater paddling on Duchesne River; the top of East Grandaddy Mountain is easily observed from  
               Arta Lake.
A visit to Hades Pass is always fun. Lakes? Sure, Carl Lake is around here. Arta Lake is pretty dehydrated frequently; of all the months in a year February is the one with the most snow, and June on the other hand is the driest. If you fancy the outdoors you'll fancy it here in the Uinta Mountains. Arta Lake is a brilliant place to visit for more than one day, Splash Dam Campground is a brilliant place to camp nearby, and why not take a refreshing hike along the East Fork Pinto Lake Trail.
This lake is so wonderful. The Skinner Cutoff Trail offers hiking at its best, and Rock Creek is a glorious whitewater spot close by.

LaMarla Lake
Lamarla Lake received it's name from my mother, Margaret Gurr Hamblin, her sister LaVon Gurr Hansen and LaVar Davies,(nephew of my dad Lyman Duane Hamblin Jr.) They were camping and fishing in the Uinta Mountains. While hiking they came upon the beautiful little lake. They decided to give it a name. They took LA from LaVar, MAR from Margaret, and LA from LaVon, forming the name LAMARLA. They posted the name by the lake. I grew up hearing this story. My mother Margaret passed away over twenty years ago. LaVon is still alive and lives with her husband, Omar in Springville, UT. LaVar is also living and resides in St. George UT. Both are in their eighties. As a child my favorite horse was named Lamarla....

Highline Trail
The U.S. Forrest Service last attention to this trail was in 1994/1995 and the trail markings in many places is all but non-existent.  Portions of the trail---particularly in the meadows areas have been overgrown and rock cairn markers, where they do exist, are often overgrown and difficult to find.  Do not attempt this trail without detailed terrain maps and GPS equipment and the ability to use both.   It would also be a good idea to carry a satellite phone (rentals are available) as there is no cell phone signal anywhere along the route from the Mirror Lake trailhead on the West all the way to the Chepeta lake trailhead  on the East...

Rock Creek
(...) The section is comprised of 3 class 3+/IV- drops with swift braided channels in between. It seldom flows since most water is diverted over to the Wasatch front from the Upper Stillwater Dam (it has to spill to be runnable.) Climatologically speaking, March is actually the month of our highest precipitation (which falls as snow, building the pack which then melts in May/June.) Most people find this section of river not nearly as rewarding as other runs in the state....
