>>1850660Sorry about your dad anon, hope he gets well soon and glad he could at least meet you at the trailhead. Definitely get your kids into it - it's a love that will last them a lifetime and might just pull the wife in. Maybe she'd be willing start with something superbly accessible and with a defined destination like watching the sunset from Ensign Peak, then work your way up from there?
Pic vaguely related, headed up to the Uintas myself last weekend. Didn't go in nearly as far as you but it's always a fun place. Mirror Lake was was an absolute zoo though, amazed you were able to find campsites even in the backcountry on your last night. Sounds like an amazing trip in any case.
