Seems like we can't get enough of the wild flowers at Alta, we invited another family to take a short walk in the Albion Basin area of Alta. The wild flowers surely did not disappoint us. Alta really is the best place for wild flowers.

2014-07-20 Cecret Lake Hike

Hiking Photo Link
Another hidden gem of Alta is Cecret Lake. Touted the most family-friendly trail, it attracts many hikers during summer months, and fight for parking space is a common theme. The town of Alta has shuttle service on the weekend during summer months to serve as many hiker as possible due to limited parking space. And you better not park on the side of the road because you will be ticketed. We went on a Sunday afternoon when there was a passing storm. But this makes a picture perfect scenery along the trail.

2014-07-13 Cardiff Pass Hike

Hiking Photo Link
Alta is a world-class ski resort. I've talked to many tourists when I skied at Alta. They said that the scenery and terrain at Alta rival that of the Alps. Well, Alta isn't just for skiing. During the summer months, especially late July and early August, there are wild flowers, and you won't be disappointed. This year, due to warm temperature, the peak time has moved up to 2 weeks earlier.
