LAKE BLANCHE, FLORENCE AND LILLIAN

This hike is in Big Cottonwood Canyon and the trailhead starts at 6,320 ft and I gained 2,580 ft in 2.8 miles. Lake Blanche sits at 8,900 ft and it took exactly 2 hrs to reach. There are also 2 sister lakes within 200 yards of Lake Blanche. Also The Sundial Peak is located right behind Lake Blanche, its an amazing peak.

A piece of prehistoric history also resides in this area as you come across rock slabs that rubbed against glaciers when this entire area was a huge glacier.

found near a bench over looking the below creek

The Sundial in the distance, Im getting closer

These rocks are scratched from the glaciers sliding across the rocks,

creating these huge slabs of shiny, scratched up rock
