Lake Blanche, Alta, Utah

Description

A breathtaking alpine lake in Utah's Big Cottonwood Canyon at the end of Lake Blanche Trail, well worth the hike. This lake is simply stunning AND it's surrounded by immense tower-like mountains...

Half-Day Hike: Follow the Lake Blanche Trail until its terminus; approximately 3.5 miles.

Did this hike today. It's semi-log, semi-strenuous, but the payoff is more than worth it. The area at the top is like a playground. You could spend hours up there. Aug 26, 2017

Didn't quite make it, lightning and hail started about 0.5 miles from the end.

Great hike! The lake is very pretty and there was still snow on the mountains. The water was very refreshing when I splashed it on my head.

Great views. Rocky singletrack. Mostly exposed. Fairly crowded on Memorial Day weekend. Snow for 3/4 of a mile which was slippery.
