We had a family friend who came from Taiwan to attend Logan Church's 10-year anniversary celebration. After the event, we invited them to stay in our house and took them to Alta again. Amazingly, the wild flowers last almost a month and they are still blooming.

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.

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.

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.
