Bloods Lake is an extremely popular trail off Guardsman Pass near Park City. It is fairly easy, has beautiful views & currently the fall colors are amazing. It is also common to spot moose here. We were lucky enough to see 3 today, including a baby. They pretty much followed us the whole way up to the lake. They were even zooming in the meadow, which was so fun to watch. Also got to see them swim in the lake. Really magical to watch.
There are some steeper areas but nothing too hard. You do have to pay $5/hour for parking during weekdays 8am to 4pm ($8/hr weekends) it was totally worth it to us. We got there right about 8 and got a spot. It was full with a line by the time we got back to the lot about 10am. We tracked this at about 3 ish miles total.
