We went hiking with church friends, who had a friend visiting Salt Lake City. They wanted to show how beautiful the surrounding area is. Her friend came at the right time for wild flower show at the Great Western Trail in East Canyon.

Hiking Photo Link
I went hiking with Phoebe, a daddy-daughter date on a beautiful Saturday morning. The trailhead is located at the White Pine area. Parking lot is always full due to its popularity. There are 3 trails that lead to 3 alpine lakes respectively. We were planning to hike the Red Pine Lake, but we made the wrong turn at the bridge junction. Left turn will lead you to Red Pine Lake. But went stright and cross the bridge and ended up in a place that was beyond our imagination, so serene and poetic.

2014-06-07 Lake Blanche Hike

Hiking Photo Link
We went hiking with 小木 on Saturday morning. The trailhead is located at the big S of the Big Cottonwood Canyon (about 4 miles from the mouth of the canyons) and the parking lot is always full due to its popularity. It was a gorgeous day to hike this beautiful trail. Uncommon to other trails in the Big Cottonwood Canyons is that you will find some red rock formation toward the end of the trail near lake Blanche. Also at the rock climbing place you will be able to see the Great Salt Lake.
