hey guys,
I am an experienced backpacker/scrambler looking for a great ~5 day backpack in the High Uintas. I cant get anymore time off in mid summer (got a wind rivers trip brewing in August), so....
First question, considering the current snowpack what would be the absolute earliest time that I could access the high country? I have pretty solid route finding skills and would not hesitate to carry axe/crampons if needed for north slopes. Thinking late June might be realistic. If I am unable to get off in the early summer, what is the absolute latest time in the fall for a high country visit, at least with an average weather pattern in fall. Catching some golden aspen in Fall sound purdy good...
How stable is your early to mid fall weather pattern traditionally?
Next quesiton, Where the hell should I go??? Way too my beautiful places to explore with only 5 days to walk. I would like to visit beautiful lakes and scrambe up a few peaks. Fishing would be a big bonus.
Any books/forums that you would recommend to gather beta?
Thanks for any and all advice,
Matt
