Need help planning Uintas scout backpacking trip.

[gofish435]

My wife and I used to take a ten day backpack trip every summer in the Uintas. We would hike a different drainage every year thinking we would find the places we liked best and go back to them when we got older. We got older and now all we do is day hikes, oh well. We have never had anything taken from our camp other than some snacks that rodents have packed off. We used the base camp concept. We would spend a full day hiking in and set up camp in a central area for several lakes. We would take a day pack for lunch, rain gear, and fishing tackle for hiking to the surrounding lakes. Make sure everyone has good raingear because I can almost guarantee you get rain/snow for a portion of the time your there. The suggestions about picking a drainage on the south slope is a good one. We found that the farther east you went from the wasatch front, the fewer people you ran into. Good luck with the boys, the memories of that trip will last them the rest of their life.
