Brandee, Everything Albino said is good advice. Here is some more. Consider the time of year. Lower area Uintas areas are better at first ice out. Grandaddy was really good fishing back the last week of June and probably through early July. It tends to slow (lots of places do too) as the weather heats up. Some of the higher country is better later in July but a lot farther than Grandaddy. A friend just came back from 4 lakes basin and did very well. Also know yourself. If Grandaddy seemed like a hard hike, likely your pack was too heavy however if you went clear to Powell and back, you went quite a ways. The trail to Shadow is almost non-existant and easy to miss. The higher country will be farther and harder. A friend with horses (especially one who has been there before) can be a great thing if you want to get into the higher country.
