Lake Blanche - Big cottonwood

Lake Blanche - Big cottonwood Located in the center of the Twin Peaks Wilderness Area, Lake Blanche is a great objective for weekend hikers.
(1)

A well-maintained trail climbs through beautiful canyon scenery to a photogenic basin containing Lake Blanche, Lake Florence and Lake Lillian. The view of the 10,320' Sundial above Lake Blanche is dramatic and is the emblem of the Wasatch Mountain Club. The smooth rock slabs located around the lakes show evidence of the glacier, which formed the basin. Look closely at the polished rock slabs near

the lakes and you can still see the grind marks left as the glacier formed this high alpine cirque. The rugged summits of 11,132' Monte Cristo, 11,107' Dromedary Peak and 11,275' Sunrise Peck surround the lakes.
