I've passed through the Stanley area the last 2 summers. In 2016 I took this photo at Redfish Lake. I must have been standing very close to where you were standing when you took yours. ๐
LOL! Yes indeed, almost the exact same spot. I was on the designated dog beach to let the dogs swim a bit off leash.

I've camped in several places along Mirror Lake Hwy (UT150) in the past. Beautiful area.
The Uinta Mountains are one of my favorite places in this region. Long before acquiring an RV, we took many backpacking trips up there and we usually ski up there when the road first opens around Memorial Day each year. What annoys me about Mirror Lake Highway now as an RV'er is that there are precious few places up there to get an RV into that aren't in a campground, and aren't right next to the busy road. Many, if not most of the Forest Service side roads in that area are just too rough -- for example, Murdock Basin or Alexander Lake. One great spot up there that we camped at this summer, prior to starting the YouTube channel (so I've got no footage) is Whitney Reservoir. That's about 9 miles off UT-150 on a reasonable dirt road, and has ample waterfront boondocking.

We also enjoyed Lyman Lake, which you access via Mountain View, WY even though it's only about 15 miles east of UT-150 and on the Utah side of the border. It's easier than coming in off Mirror Lake Highway.

In fact, I'm somewhat frustrated that we took many great trips this summer including the Sawtooth Mountains of central Idaho, the San Juan mountains of southwestern Colorado, etc., that were before I got the concept for this YouTube channel and before I bought the drone and other cameras. Not only would they have made wonderful episodes with stunning scenery, but I also would've had a ton more episodes to last the whole winter into next camping season.

Sorry, y'all...I kind of got on a roll there. ๐ฎ
