First Uintas Trip

[JaseTheAce]

Hey all. Since I'm new to Utah and new to backpacking I thought I'd ask for some advice here. I'm thinking of doing a short overnight in the Uintas in mid-August. I wanted to get some suggestions.

Since I'm new (and out of shape) I don't want to do anything too crazy. I'm thinking I'd like to roll in early on a Saturday morning from SLC, hike to a quiet spot for some camping, then hike out on a Sunday. So, what are your suggestions? Which trails should I hit? What lake should I visit? Etc.

Welcome from what appears to be Ohio.

Check out the Trail guides section for some ideas. Perusing the Trip Reports section for backpacking also can point you to some good spots.

Welcome and enjoy!

Ibantik Lake via The Notch starting at Crystal Lake TH sounds like it would be perfect for this...it's a good "Unitas Starter Package"
