Hello folks!
I'm currently planning a backpacking trip to the uintahs in the middle of August for about 8 people. I've narrowed down our location to two. I've read great things about both. I'm thinking of making destinations out of shamrock lake or amethyst lake. Which one do you prefer?
I'm leaning towards shamrock right now because it seems less crowded and like it has more sun exposure than amethyst and I hear the fishing is better at shamrock.
Any insider knowledge about either of these would be greatly appreciated.
Which one has a more scenic route? Amethyst basin looks more swampy, is that true?
Thanks!!
