Naturalist Basin in the Uintas

Sisters getting together to go backpacking with our kids.  Our Dad would do this with us so it was fun to do it with our kids.  Lots of cousin hiking time.  Hiking in was about 6 miles before we got to a beautiful campsite. There was room for all of our tents and fresh water.  Hiking through the burned forest was sad and beautiful.  









The next morning we had a nice fire and a hot breakfast.  We planned on exploring many lakes.  Swimming in some and fishing in others.  

We started by Gatman Lake and went counterclockwise.  We swam and fished at Jordan Lake.  Hiking up to Shaler Lake was an optional fun rock scrambling.  Faxon Lake had some leaches we discovered.  LeConte Lake had some drizzles.  Blue Lake was great for fishing and cold swimming.  Then coming down from Blue Lake and seeing the waterfall and the Morat Lakes was beautiful.  We hiked out the next day and stopped in Oakley at the Dinner.  We all loved the good food.
