Lake Blanche

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.

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.

It's all clear, however be ready for lots of sun and bugs. The bugs swarm around you when you get sweaty and you can't breath.
