Willow Lake is a very popular, quick hike up Big Cottonwood Canyon. It has beautiful views & still some fall colors! The recent storm had knocked leaves down. The frost & snow with the colors is so pretty. It is pretty easy, doable for most. There are a couple of steeper sections. Moose are often spotted here, but we have never seen any. We tracked this at just about 3 miles total.
