Not actually a secret at all, but a popular hiking destination in the local Wasatch Front Range mountains here in Utah. SuzAnn and I, as a spur of the moment thing, decided to go up to Secret Lake and try and catch a sunrise at the lake.
Secret Lake lies in what is called the Albion Basin and is located just above the Alta ski resort. The Albion Basin is know for its wildflowers in the summer months. The lake is a short hike of less than a mile from the trailhead and gains only about 300 feet or so of elevation.
Unfortunately, we didn’t quite make it to the lake in time for the sunrise color which splashed the clouds overhead. But instead found ourselves just making the trailhead at that time…it’s all good…just means that I’ll have to make another trip up to this beautiful location again to try and catch the color being reflected in this pristine alpine lake.
Just for your information, the swan at the end was taken later in the day at another location…
