It is Neat B's birthday this weekend and we are hanging out in Utah. Today, we hiked up to Cecret Lake, which is accessible from the Alta Ski Area in Albion Basin. Alta is a ski-only resort, so hiking is the only way that my kind -- snowboarders -- gets to see this area. The basin is known for its beautiful wildflowers and it didn't disappoint. Cecret Lake is also a watershed area for Salt Lake City. So as you hike up, there are signs telling you not to swim in the lake or do things like bath your dog. Because what goes into the watershed will end up in the faucets of Salt Lake City within 24 hours (according to the signs). If you haven't done this hike, I would highly recommend it. It's easy/moderate, and a great way to work up an appetite for In-N-Out Burger, which is a real treat for us Torontonians.
