Ask any Utah hiker about a trail that takes you to some gorgeous lakes, and they’ll tell you about the Lake Blanche Trail in Big Cottonwood Canyon. That trail is definitely one of our favorites, too, but there’s another, lesser-known trail in Little Cottonwood Canyon that you need to check out.
There's a parking lot at the trailhead that usually has spots available during weekdays, but on weekends you might have to park along the road.
You'll climb an elevation of 2,175 feet during the hike.

Check with the Utah Avalanche Center before hiking. The trail is usually traveled enough that you won't need snowshoes, but YakTrax or other cleats might come in handy.
