Lake Blanche - Partial

Lake Blanche is a beautiful lake shadowed by Sundial Peak up Big Cottonwood Canyon.  I got a late start, so had to turn around after just 2 miles in, but it was a good scoping mission. This trail provides some steep terrain that should be great training for the steeps of Nepal.  I still had another mile and about 1,500' of elevation gain to go when I had to turn around.  We'll definitely have to come back and do the entire hike.

Trailhead Elevation:  6,131 feet
Highest Elevation:  7,343 feet
Total Elevation Gain:  1,200 feet
Total Distance:  4 miles
Total Time:  2:15 hrs
