Grandaddy Basin in the Uintas

Grandaddy was perfect for our family.  It was my moms first backpacking trip which made it memorable but also all of my siblings were there and some with spouses.  We had 24 total in our group.  First Day hike into Betsy Lake . About 4 miles but over Hades Pass was hard.  Our base camp area was perfect by the lake.  Great for fishing. 

The second day, we hiked just over 5 miles to Fish Hatchery Lake, Lily Pad Lake, had a delicious lunch at Pine Island Lake, circling around to Palisade Lake, then passing by Brinton Meadows, which took us back to Betsy Lake.  The mosquitoes were terrible, and we had some rain.  The hike out went fast since the VIP slow kiddos left an hour earlier than the adults.  We made it to Oakley Diner, and everyone was happy.
