Cecret Lake

Utah's most photographed wildflower hike. A short trail from the Albion Basin Campground to a glacial cirque lake at 9,875 ft, passing through the Albion Basin meadows — the state's most ostentatious alpine wildflower bloom, peaking mid-July through early August. Devils Castle forms a jagged headwall over the lake. A family-friendly classic during Alta's summer road season.
