Willow Lake Trail, Big Cottonwood Canyon

Willow Lake is a popular trail up Big Cottonwood Canyon. The wildflowers were absolutely amazing. More than I’ve ever seen there. This is a pretty doable hike for most skills, there are some steeper areas. The lake is pretty & often moose are spotted here (no luck for us today). We did see a deer, tons of potguts & ducks. Super pretty. 

We tracked this at just over 3 miles, exploring all around the lake.
