Grandaddy Lake is the largest lake in the High Unitas. While Grandaddy Lake can have plenty of hikers, there are over twenty lakes within a two-hour hike within the Grandaddy Basin.

The trail starts out with steep switchbacks for the first 0.6 mile, and then flattens out into a plateau. Towards the summit the trail stee...
