Tell us about it:
This is one of my favorite hikes near where I live. It is a super unique place to chill at and take photos. The whole hike is amazing. You will enjoy hiking alongside a beautiful stream with lots of cascading waterfalls surrounded by amazing mountains along the Wasatch Mountain range. The best season to do this hike is spring when there is still some snow on the Sundial Peak and other surrounding mountains or in the fall when the leaves are changing color. If you are in for it, you can also snowshoe up to the lake but it is quite a bit tougher than doing it in the warmer seasons.

The prize of doing the hike is arriving to a gorgeous, calm lake with a picturesque peak sitting right on the edge of it. The surrounding mountains block the wind and allow for some amazingly glassy reflections here. The hike up can be a little tough as it is pretty steep and you are ascending the entire way until the lake, but it is well worth it. Coming down is easy and goes by really quick. This is also a great lake to camp at if you want to split the hike up and catch some amazing stargazing and a sunrise in a great location.
See any wildlife? I have seen a lot of deer, squirrels, birds, butterflies, and sometimes you will see mountain goats.
