Epic Trout Fishing & Fall Hike | Lake Blanche Trail, Wasatch Mountains, Utah

Embark on a memorable adventure through the heart of Utah's Wasatch Mountains on the Lake Blanche Trail in Big Cottonwood Canyon. This 30-minute special encapsulates a 6.9-mile hike paired with a tranquil fishing escapade amidst the vibrant fall foliage.

As we ascend the trail, witness the awe-inspiring vistas of the Salt Lake Valley and the majestic Great Salt Lake. The journey unfolds through the serene alpine lakes - Lake Blanche, Lake Florence, and Lake Lillian, nestled at almost 9000 feet above sea level. The high-altitude waters promise an enriching fishing experience, where the colors of the brook trout rivaled only by the autumn leaves surrounding.

This condensed version brings you the essence of a full-day outdoors, from the early morning hike to the satisfying finale of a successful fishing venture. So, hit play, and let the picturesque scenery and the thrill of the catch transport you to this mountain haven.
