If you're ever in Salt Lake, the Lake Blanche trail is one of the most rewarding hikes to do. There are 3 gorgeous lakes all right next to each other. Blanche of course being the main attraction, but the other 2, Lake Florence and Lake Lillian, are also absolutely stunning. The best part of it, in my opinion, is that even though I went on a busy day, there were almost no people that walked the extra 0.5 mile (if that) to see Florence and Lillian, meaning I had almost the entire area to myself. Not a person in sight. So quiet and peaceful.

Easily the best hike I have ever done. Would 110% recommend

I want to climb Sundial Peak at Lake Blanche sometime this year. I wanted to see if you guys had any tips.

My main concern is should I bring any sort of safety equipment, like a helmet? Or is it safe to accomplish without?

Any specific routes I should take?

Anything to look out for?

Anyhing else I should know?

Thanks!

I decided to go ahead and make a community for my city! Everyone's welcome, just try to keep on topic!

To kickoff the new community, I wanted to ask what everyone's favorite hiking spots are around SLC

I haven't been on many hikes yet, but my top 3 are:

-Bell Canyon (lower falls)

-Adams Canyon

-Heughs Canyon

I did Lake Blanche alone in February during a blizzard so it wasn't super exciting (I couldn't even see sundial peak 🙁), but I am going to go again this summer, and I'm sure that will easily take the cake for my favorite hike. We'll see!
