Trails to explore this summer: Cecret Lake
There’s nothing better than escaping the noise of everyday life and getting out into nature. What could be better than a beautiful lake hidden by crazy rock formations?. Cecret Lake can be found in Little Cottonwood Canyon in the Alta Ski Area. The Cecret Lake Trail is a wonderful, family friendly hike with gorgeous views all-around. You can even make a weekend out of it and stay at the Albion Basin Campground right next to the trailhead. It’s around 2-miles out-and-back with some steep spots. The final stretch to the lake is a steep, rocky climb up the mountain. If you have young children with you, make sure to keep an eye on them so they don’t slip.
