Mirror Lake



On Labor Day, we went to Mirror Lake. This is a glacier lake high in the Uintas, the mountain range east of the Wasatch Mountains. The elevation is 10,700 ft, so even though it's early September, it was a little chilly.



A certain someone was grumpy and freezing the entire time.


We took the raft out for a paddle around the lake.




Then we decided to go around the lake on foot.



See Nathan and Henry?



Wierd floaty lake grass





On the way down the mountain, we stopped to get a look at Provo River Falls.



Nathan must get right in the middle of every waterfall he visits.





This picture was worth flipping a U-turn for.



We finished the day in Heber City for burgers and shakes. What a nice day off!

Haha Nathan has always loved being in the middle of rivers. I share that passion though! We both have a love for the outdoors that is unmatched in our family! Beautiful pictures...would have loved to have been with you for this outing!
