hiking

Camped overnight at Alder Flats, took the West Canyon Trail there and East Canyon Trail back....

If you’re ever in Salt Lake, the Lake Blanche trail is one of the most rewarding hikes to do. There are 3 gorgeous lakes all right next to each other. Blanche of course being the main attraction, but the other 2, Lake Florence and Lake Lillian, are also absolutely stunning. The best part of it, in my opinion, is that even...

Very short hike for awesome sunset views!
