Lake Blanche Hike <pics>

This is from a hike in August, its one I've never been on (because they don't allow dogs). It was worth not taking the dogs, what a gorgeous hike. Here's some photos! :) In case anyone doesn't know, they were taken in Utah. There's three lakes, the first one you get to is of course Lake Blanche, above it is Sundial Peak. There are two other smaller lakes next to it, Lake Lillian and Lake Florence. We walked around/behind all three, it made the hike much longer but it was very pretty.

WOW!!! What beautiful photos! Looks like I'll be having to take a trip to Utah!

It's so beautiful there! Thanks for sharing!:)

Thank you for sharing the beautiful pictures. There is nothing like the beauty of the flowers, wild animals, & mountains of the West. :)

Those pictures are so beautiful! Thank you so much for posting them.

WOW! What beautiful pictures! So much beauty there!! You are good with that camera too! That had to be wonderful to actually be there!

I should take Mike out to Utah with me when I go visit you one of these days. He'd totally love the nature/hiking stuff out there!! It's amazing. I miss it out west. Awesome pics, Amy!!

What absolutely stunning pictures!

Beautiful pics as always, Amy! I need to take a trip to Utah specifically to go hiking and see all of the beautiful sceneries like the ones you always share with us!

Are most of these hiking trails close to where you live?

Thanks everyone! Rach yes definitely bring Mike with you. :)

This trail was probably about a 40-50 minute drive to get to the trailhead, not too far. Most of my hikes are a lot closer, we are very close to several canyons. I could walk to a couple of them if I wanted to.

Awesome pictures as usual....made me feel like I was hiking along with you.

Great! Thanks for sharing!:)

Oh gotcha. I would love to go to Utah one of these days and experience all of the trails! So beautiful!!

Just beautiful as always. :) You two don't take a bad pic. :p
