Peaking At Leidy With Cheese

This was my first attempt at a peak with a cheeseburger, so please be kind with your comments.  I had some inside information that a summit attempt on Leidy Peak had been passed up recently by a couple of members of this organization, so I fugured I would give it a shot.  Since it looked like it wouldn't snow today, I thought I would head on up to check things out on Leidy Peak in northeastern Utah.  I had never been up on top of the Big L and I had no clue where I was going.  Luckily, Mrs. Urge had seen the summit and she shared some beta that worked out well.  I hit the trail around daybreak and was relaxing at the top, munching on a tasty MickyD double queso by 9 AM (no supplemental oxygen was used to achieve the summit I should add). 

Not only was the sky snow-free, but the sun shown for most of the day.  After my snack, I relaxed and took a little siesta on the west side of Leidy.

Following the nap, it was time to head off to the west to Gabbro Pass where I saw a herd of mountain goats.  They appeared to be eating exclusively vegetation with no burgers in sight. 


After a gander over the pass to west, it was time to head east to the Jeep.  Since I only had one CB in the pack, I avoided the additional peak tops in the area until next time.  This was my first cold cheeseburger on the summit of a mountain and let me tell you it kicked ass!  Now if I can just find the website for summitsinglebarrelbourbon.com ....

Nice job, Mr. URGE.

No clue where you're going around Leidy Peak? I know that feeling! With 70+ miles to go on the Highline Trail we opted to eat our two day old BK cheeseburgers at the Leidy Trailhead. It was the best thing I ate on the whole hike!

That view of the Uintas from around Leidy is gorgeous. Didn't get to see mountain goats - glad you got a photo. Welcome to Summit Cheeseburger.
