Utah's Mountains will always be my favorite place. There is something so healing and peaceful about being in them. Our dear friend, Daison, has been working so hard on some weight loss goals and turned 50 this year. He wanted to celebrate it by accomplishing something hard. We asked him to hike Red Pine Lake with us last minute, and he agreed!
He talked his son, Gavin, into going with us, so we all got up at 4:15 am on a Saturday morning and started driving up the canyon. Call it a lack of sleep, stress, or just being old, we got confused and went up the wrong canyon for Red Pine Lake, but we found ourselves in the parking lot of Lake Blanche, which is just as beautiful and challenging!
Lake Blanche is up Big Cottonwood Canyon and is a steep 7 mile hike.
The Fall colors had just about peaked and it was breathtaking! It was so fun to share our love with Daison and Gavin!
