3. Cecret Lake

Salt Lake City, Utah
Rating: Easy
Distance: 1.7 miles roundtrip

This trail isn't so "cecret" anymore, but you'll understand why when you see all the wildflowers! "This is a very short hike to a beautiful alpine lake in the Albion Basin region near Alta and Snowbird Ski Resorts. This area is very popular on summer weekends so parking may be difficult.
