Red Pine Lake

Red Pine Lake is located in Little Cottonwood Canyon near Salt Lake City. To get to the lake is a 4 mile hike with 3000 feet of elevation gain. The last mile is climbing over fallen trees and small boulders. The effort was worth it as we set up camp at dusk and watched from our private rock cliff overlooking the lake as millions of stars appeared. We also saw deer, fox, badger, snakes and many little critters. We shared the lake with only one other small group. Beautiful! The next morning after breakfast, we hiked around the lake, visited a nearby waterfall and hiked out.

Awesome camp spot at 9400 Feet.







Stephanie Said Dad never takes her camping. On August 17, Stephanie backpacked into Red Pine Lake and spent the night.
