Cecret Lake

This is a post from July that is just being posted now! Oops!

On our way up!

C-E-C-R-E-T. Yes, that is how it is actually spelled. Cecret Lake is an amazing hike at Alta Ski Resort. If you look it up, you will read that it is a 1.5 mile easy hike (3 mile round trip). That is from Albion Camp ground--we're serious hikers though, so chose to hike from the base of Alta, making it a 5 mile round trip hike. And it's a hike. As in switch backs--though not until right before the lake. It was marked easy on everything I read before going, so while we were in the midst of switch backs, I turned to Michael and said: "easy?!" to which he replied: "hike, not walk." So if you want to do it, just realize it is a hike, not a walk.
   
     It was so incredibly beautiful. Wildflowers EVERYWHERE! We didn't see any moose ( I guess there were too many people, but we saw tons of squirrels (which Jack loved) and salamanders at the lake.

We made it!

The weather was ideal up in the mountains, though we did all come home a little pink from the sun. We all absolutely loved this hike, Jack was a true sportsman and walked a lot of the steadier climbs and wanted to run the entire way down. We will definitely be doing this one again!

Of course we had to sit on the ski lift!
