No matter how you spell it, Secret/Cecret Lake is
not to be missed! Located ust 11.1 miles up Little Cottonwood Canon in the Albion Campground, it is one of Utah's most beautiful spots. Have your picnic, then walk the Secret Lake Trail. It's a very popular, easy hike to a beautiful alpine lake.
(Swimming is not permitted). The Albion Basin is famous for it's summer wildflowers which bloom around the end of July through mid-August. The first week of October is also a good time to do this hike to view the fall leaves. The lake is very photogenic, set just under Sugarloaf Peak. The trail to Secret Lake runs west from the
campground. The hike is relatively flat and is only 3/4 of a mile, so more of a stroll than a hike. Along the way there are interpretive signs with information about the basin, it's plants, animals and geology. It's an easy hike,
perfect for children and gives you an opportunity to talk about the importance of our precious resources. I'm told in late afternoon you can almost always see moose. Pack along s'mores ingredients and roast them in the pit on your way back from the trail.
If you want a more strenuous hike, you can hike to the top of Sugarloaf Peak from Secret Lake (allow 2 hours for that. Bring plenty of insect repellant! Oh - and I'm told it is spelled CECRET - but it depends on which site and which map you're looking at - so you decide!
