I revisited Willow Heights Lake this week for another snowshoe hike. (The last time was in late November.) We were the first ones on the trail today after Sunday's storm. Snowshoeing through new snowfall is the best! Yes, it is more challenging to break new trail, but what a great workout! Even though I repeat the hike to Willow Heights Lake over and over, each time brings a new experience. That is what I love about hiking, I never get bored. There is always something new about the same old trail. As I have mentioned previously Willow Heights Lake is a short, but steep trail. We usually circle the lake to add a little more distance to our hike and still only hiked for 2.1 miles. Love, love, love hiking through the thick quakies on this trail!
Back to the beginning of our hike . . . . .

Today we found a dream catcher in a tree.
A dream catcher is used so that only good dreams will be remembered. The bad dreams will become hopelessly entangled in the web. Native American folklore.

The trail for Willow Heights Lake is found just past Silver Fork Lodge in Big Cottonwood Canyon. Look for and park along the side of the road near this speed/curving road sign.
