I need a lil advice on the uintas. I had never been backpacking, or hiking before and we went up by grandaddy lake which everybody says is such and easy hike. I swear I almost died. We camped at betsy then when we woke up we were going to go fish shadow. Well we kinda missed the trail and ended up at powell. After we fished powell and didn't get a single bite we got lost about 10 miles off the trail which was hell for a fatty like me!!! haha. But ya I only ended up catching one fish at lodgepole after we finally figured out where we were. I dont think that was the typical uintas experience because all i've ever heard is how much fun people have up there and how many fish they catch. So can anybody give me some advice on where to go for next time? Maybe a day trip is more my thing because I suck at the whole backpack thing.
