Cecret Lake is a beautiful lake nestled among the alpine meadows at the top of Little Cottonwood Canyon. This has been a favorite trail of my mother's for years. I have fond memories of hiking to Cecret Lake with my family, and preparing dinner in the designated picnic areas at the bottom of the trail.
Meagan and Lizzy blazed the way, as we hiked up this short, and not very difficult trail. Somehow, unbeknownst to us, we had veered off the trail and ended up on some rugged terrain. We could see actual rock climbers with all their gear scaling the mountain next to us. Once we realized we were off the trail, there was no turning back. Hiking back down to meet up with the trail definitely wasn't the best option. We knew the lake was at the top and just kept going and encouraging one frightened hiker (wasn't me).
The lake is beautiful and is set just under Sugarloaf Peak. The water is crystal clear with boulders and pine trees strewn across the shorelines.
What a beautiful end to a Saturday afternoon. We love our Utah mountains!
