We drove from Richfield to Fish Lake route's 119 and 24, shortly after leaving Richfield we started or climb up to 8,700 feet Fish Lake. We made several stops along the way for photo ops. Hope you enjoy.
We try and stop at the signs along the way, it helps us understand where we are, and gives us clues what to look for along the way.
The mountains always give us many changes of rocks, trees, and grasses.
In the background is a pack train moving along the Old Spanish trail. The trail was used to carry blankets to southern California and push livestock to New Mexico. Your history lession for today!
Our Jo during her photo thing, this photo gives you an idea of the open spaces.
At the lodge they have cabins for rent, they are very proud of their cabins, nightly rent ranges from $110 for one bedroom to $700 for a five bedroom. There are several campgrounds around the lake, rates $28 a night.
Fish Lake is Central Utah's summer playground. It is a liquid jewel in the fingertips of the Wasatch Mountains which surround it at 11,000-foot elevation.
This beautifully situated lake, which is 5 1/2 miles long, contains six species of trout, and is one of the West's most famous fishing and recreation resorts.
Not all of the users of the Trail where honest folks, the Chief is proof of that.
As you can see Clear Creek kind of snakes it's way down the mountain. The road was almost as windy as it snaked its way down the mountain.
This signage told us about the Old Spanish Trail, what impressed me was there was NO grafatti
(sp ?) only some cow pods.
This cowpoke was a bit faster than us as he beat us here, last we saw him he was at the lake.
You know I (Bill) had to take a flower picture, this one caught my eye, there were a few of them along the way.
