Cecret Lake Hike in 360 Degrees
Albion Basin Alta, Utah
After I enjoyed hiking in the Albion basin, if you make it up to the campground, then Cecret Lake is only 0.9 miles more, so of course I headed up to see the beautiful lake. This lake is unique for the orange tinted rocks, many of which have almost rectangular prism shapes. The lake is a pretty blue, and I was super lucky that the clouds came and made it a cool nice hike. I timed it perfectly, for as I was heading down a quick hail storm happened. They were small, but still they were a little painful as they hit my face. I was so glad it ended quickly, for it would have been no fun to be stuck in a hail storm for long hiking.

- Appropriate for ALL Ages
- About 460 feet elevation gain (but is already pretty high altitude, so you might find you need to take it slow and your breathing might be affected.
- About 1 hour East of SLC
- It is much higher elevation, ,so it will be colder than you think it will be. Take a jacket. You will usually see snow here until mid July.
- Does cost to get in. I think it is $7 or 8 per car.
- About 1.7 miles heavily trafficked trail by Alta Ski Resort. Really popular in Summer to pair with Wild Flower hike in Albion Basion that is also right here.

If you are on this east side of the lake, I would encourage you to sit down and just look at the creatures in the water. They have lots of Tiger Salamander's here in the water that look like the creature they used to designed the dragon on "How To Train Your Dragon". It is uncanny, and looks out of this world unique.

The Wildflowers here are beautiful. The best spot to catch the wildflowers in this area is
ALBION BASION ALTA, UTAH
which is just below this hike, and an easy one to pair with Cecret Lake. When you get done checking out this beautiful lake, you should also check out this awesome hike.
Flowers along the Devils Castle Trail are also some of my favorite.

Yeah we are to the lake! Hike to lake is a 0.9 miles.
Trail is big orange rocks and cliffs, so to see flowers growing out from the rocks is very unique.

Like most lakes up Little & Big Cottonwood Canyon, there is NO Swimming allowed in the lake.

I haven't seen these adorable flowers yet this year on the trail. These look like a flower ready for a girls tea party, but in a few weeks they will bloom and then then look like a prickly scary flower. So funny how they change.
