The Albion Basin trail starts at 9500 feet, at the base of Alta Ski Resort near Salt Lake City. We've had many memorable family hikes there.
The wildflowers are spectacular most summers. This year, we thought they were not as tall and prolific as we remembered. A combination of 60% snow year and record heat must have slowed them down.
One son and his wife posed in front of the jagged cliffs of Devil's Castle.
Our daughter and her family took a break with ski slopes in the background. Our eldest son and family weren't able to join us this time.
Cecret Lake was the destination. The reason for the name's unusual spelling is a secret, as far as we can tell.
This granddaughter is having a fine time exploring the shore with her dad.
What a beautiful place for a family hike, lovely pictures!

ReplyDeleteThe scenery is beautiful, but your grandchildren are even more so. But you knew that, didn't you?
