I have enjoyed reading many great trip reports on this site so thought I better share one from June of 2015. Hiked 7 miles from Mirror Lake trailhead to Pinto Lake in the Granddaddy Basin where we set up camp.

Day 2 day hiked cross country 10 miles round trip from Pinto lake to the Four Lakes Basin

Day 4 hiked back out to the Mirror Lake Trailhead. Another great trip in the books. Caught brook trout, cutthroat trout, and arctic grayling. Visited 11 lakes and fished 10 of them. I was able to catch fish in 8 of the lakes and one stream. Ended up hiking 29.5 miles round trip.
Love the Uintas!
