This was my first summer in Utah moving away from New York. I knew I had to go somewhere to get away from the heat in SLC so I headed out to GrandDaddy Basin. Why is it so wonderful? I was told by everyone that anyone can enjoy it but be aware in July mosquitos are everywhere. No matter how much I applied the bug spray-they sucked on my blood.
