Lake Blanche is arguably one of the prettiest destinations in all of the Wasatch Mountains. Keep an eye out for the dramatically notched peak that towers over the lake; once you see it, you'll understand why it's known as the Sundial. You can visit the smaller, nearby lakes Florence and Lillian if you like, but Lake Blanche is the belle of this ball.
