Summer Bucket List #2: White Pine Lake Hike



Another Bucket List item crossed off our list! A hike in the beautiful mountains of Utah!! :)
We wanted a good hike that we could accomplish in a shorter amount of time, so after browsing trails up by Alta Ski Resort, we chose a trail called White Pine Lake Trail. It was absolutely beautiful! The snow was still melting, causing much water to run down the sides of the mountain, the river, and the trail itself! There were many parts of the trail where we had to ford a river or climb a pile of snow. We had to stop halfway up the trail and come back because it was raining too hard and our time was almost out. It was fun! Check out the pics below. :)

This is my island! I claim Twisted Tree Stump Island.

The river was flowing so fast! But it was so amazing!

The river and me.

It was a beautiful day! Except the parts when it rained... ;)
It was a beautiful hike and one I'd recommend! Take a water bottle and a lunch/snacks and enjoy yourself!
