This isn’t necessary about hiking but have any of you been to mirror lake? Have you ever camped there? What about Christmas meadows? What did y’all think?

I'm guessing almost everyone has been to mirror lake.
I camped by mirror lake a few weeks ago at Washington lake. A couple miles away from mirror lake.
Awesome area

I have a few videos of some hikes on my YouTube Channel.

Hikes I've done.
Observation Point -Zion.
Pretty much parts of every hike at Bryce starting at Sunset Point.
Mossy Cave and Falls - easy and beautiful.
Roast me. Haha

I just climbed Topaz Mountain last week.

I'm going to hike to Silver Flat Lake this weekend. I have a ton more I want to do this year too.

So, Archie, you are the Toad Moto. Wow, fantastic. I've been itching to do some hiking since I moved here, but my gf is not a hiker. We are going to Zion in a couple of weeks. Not really hardcore hiking but a beautiful place, as you know. I have to visit some of these spots. The one Colton showed looks amazing.
 
I’ve started hiking pretty much every week since the pandemic hit more than a year ago and have hardly scratched the surface of all the trails we have in Utah.

Recently, the mountain lakes in Big and Little Cottonwood Canyon have been a great way to escape the summer heat. So far I’ve hiked to Blanche, Desolation, Red Pine, Mary, Catherine, Lackawaxen and Cecret lakes. Can’t really name a favorite, all of them amazingly picturesque.

Also hiked some of the easier peaks close to SLC and in the nearby canyons, slowly working up to Mount Olympus this fall when the temperatures cool and I’m a little more fit. Anybody hiked Olympus and can advise what I’m in for?

What’s the elevation and distance of Olympus?

And straight uphill. Even hiking to the saddle is a quad killer as you get zero relief after you cross the stream/not much of a stream mid-way.

The last scramble can be a real challenge as the way isn’t entirely clear either and is a complete sauna when the sun is bearing down on you.
 


This was one of my favorites. I've been on so many damn cool hikes the past two years. I absolutely love Utah.



My dog and I hiking down in the Swell a few weeks ago. She's an amazing hiking buddy.
