The Secret of Cecret Lake

Another late evening hike up Little Cottonwood Canyon in the fall. Is there any place on earth more stunning that this...maybe? But this is pretty amazing.

Cecret Lake (pronounced like Secret) is a small alpine lake in Albion Basin near Alta, Utah. This area is also part of the Wasatch National Forest. Cecret Lake is also a protected watershed for Salt Lake City, Utah. It is not known why the name was spelled with a C instead of an S. Assumptions are that it was named by a miner working in the area. Ironically the USGS maps spell it with an "S."
