Mountain reflection

Awesome hike up to Cecret Lake near Alta, Utah in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest.

Pines with blue background

It was a lovely day, sunny and 30Fs.

Trail pano

The hike was 4.5 miles with a 1,210 ft elevation change. Cecret Lake is 9,875 ft above sea level.

Reflection pano

The payoff 😍 love those reflections on the lake!

First look

We were at the lake about noon. I think the ice was retreating some as the day warmed up.

Icy Lake pano

The edge of the lake was still iced over but the sun was high and bright.

Snow Reflections

It was hard to leave and start back down. Such a lovely day!

Signs

A few nice stickers for you heroldius@heroldius even way up here 🙂

Cecret Trail

We were following a mapping phone app which was good because this sign looks disturbing temporary, pretty sketchy.

Blue skies

Here's my hiking party.

Icy Trail

I would call the hike moderate but it was step and icy for a stretch immediately below the lake.

Pine reflections

One more pretty shot of the lake to close out the post ✌️
