Wait and see if June warms up and melt the Uintas. But if still too much snow and are willing to drive as far as the Boulders/1000 Lake Mountain area my advise is consider going to the Wind River Range instead. More scenic (and less litter), plenty of solitude and still great fishing. Chance to get into some golden trout as well. Only downside is you'll need Wyoming Licence but for a comparable drive a much nicer destination. Snowpack up there doesn't look too bad but obviously for any of these trips you need to keep an eye on the snow situation. I did my first backpacking trip with my son to the Wind Rivers when he was about 10. Good Luck and enjoy the trip wherever you end up.
