Lake Blanche

A steep climb to a glacial alpine lake at 8,920 feet beneath the Sundial, Monte Cristo, and Dromedary — one of the best alpine lake hikes in the Wasatch, 25 minutes from downtown.

Also known as: Lake Blanche Trail, Mill B South Fork to Lake Blanche

A steep climb through aspen and fir forest to a stunning alpine lake cirque beneath the Sundial, Monte Cristo, and Dromedary peaks. Lake Blanche sits at 8,920 feet in a glacially carved bowl that feels wildly remote for being 25 minutes from downtown Salt Lake City. One of the best alpine lake hikes in the Wasatch.
