A River Runs Thru Us
Not too far below the summit in just through some aspen groves I came across a few moose. The bull had already headed into the thick before I could get my camera out, but the cow stopped and looked my way for a Bullwinkle candid. Cool.
I also had some fair views across the valley in all it's fall splendor, which is even more amazing. I just can't believe how lucky I am to live out here. I head out of our house, drive up the road and BAM! I'm in the mountains...with my pick of canyons to choose from; Millcreek, Parleys, Little Cottonwood and Big Cottonwood. A short drive further and I can head up Alpine Canyon to Mt. Timpanogos or through Provo Canyon and head up to Sundance. It really is a gluttony of wild outdoors here.

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."
