The Uintas have some patches of huckleberries here and there. But I've never found the tremendously productive patches like you find further north. I picked a few about 5 days ago. You're probable a bit early as only about 1 in 50 berries I saw was ripe then. I attached the photo of the location[laugh]. If the first photo wasn't helpful see the second. There are a few hundred bushes scattered along that shoreline within a hundred yards. If you look above the golden trout you'll see a log. To the right of it you can make out several huckleberry bushes on the shore early in the season before they fruit. The lakes above that also have huckleberries if everyone beats you to these. The cliffs will keep the weak kneed from reaching those.

I cropped and enlarged the part of the photo with the huckleberry bushes to make them easier to see.
