Hello!
I hope you're ready to take off your hardcore backpacking hats just for a minute and give me some car camping advice!
Three friends and I are looking for an easy car camping weekend, and we thought it would be nice to go someplace new. I've heard great things about the Sawtooths, and parts of them seem do-able for a weekend trip starting from Salt Lake City. We'll be leaving on a Friday afternoon and returning on a Sunday.
Ideally, we'd be able to find a not-too-insanely crowded car camping spot at or near a body of water with a few short day hikes we can do with camp as a base. We're fine with primitive camping. We'd like to keep the drive from Salt Lake at or under 6ish hours.
Alternatively, your suggestions that meet the above criteria in other Salt Lake area mountain ranges accepted (ie, the Uintas).
Thanks and happy trails,
Melissa
