White Pine Lake

Since we love to go hiking, we made time to actually hike! Yay! We are both very busy with school, and between that and driving to Salt Lake almost every single weekend, we really have to schedule in some therapuetic hikes.

This time we went to White Pine Lake. If you go to Tony Grove in Logan Canyon, it is one of the trails going out of there. There are several hikes in Logan Canyon, and this is the last of the "popular" ones that everyone does that I needed to do. (The hikes that everyone does are: the River Walk, Crimson Trail, Wind Caves, Jardine Juniper, White Pine Lake, and Naomi Peak--and now I've done them all!)

Me and a cow. The cow is the black thing by the trees.

Morning in the Cache National Forest and Naomi Wilderness. We hate hiking with lots of people, so we left our apartment at 6 so we could be DONE hiking by the time everyone else showed up.

One of the mountains around White Pine Lake. This one, I think, is Gog.  

The lake was so beautiful! It was really clear, mostly smooth, and just beautiful. Andrew was sad we didn't bring any fishing gear.

Me being myself in my new waterproof jacket in front of Gog.

Sometimes you just can't hold it.
JK--there was cow pies and cow footprints all over.

SO BEAUTIFUL! This is probably the most beautiful place I have been in Logan Canyon--it is even more beautiful than Tony Grove.

A grouse. We ran into a flock of them when we bushwhacked around the lake.

Mt. Magog reflected in the water. It was so clear! It was an amazing morning.

Andrew and me at the lake. We got hot and took off our new waterproof jackets.

It was a really great hike. For us, it wasn't too difficult. If you do go, be warned that you will have to climb up out of the valley on your way back. It is a steady uphill for about a mile, but the rest of the hike is very flat.

Also--I love hiking with Andrew! I am really glad that we both love to hike and that we enjoy spending time together in this way.
