June is Great Outdoors Month

You may love the outdoors, but everyone has those friends or family members that just prefer to lounge in front of the TV or who may be a little bit squeamish about bugs, baiting hooks, mud and dirt or heights. Of course you love them anyway—but what better time to give them that little nudge to join you for some fresh air than Great Outdoors Month?

Utah has so many outdoor activities! From mountain biking, hiking, swimming, fishing, and boating. Get out there and experience your environment! Try a new trail this weekend! 

Silver Lake Loop Trail

                            

Silver Lake

 

Silver Lake Loop Trail is an easy day-trip from Salt Lake City. The trail circles Silver Lake at Brighton in Big Cottonwood Canyon. Silver Lake is home to beautiful mountain scenery, an abundance of wildlife including moose and deer, and many varieties of vivid summer wildflowers. The trail features plenty of shady, wooded areas as well as sunny, open stretches from which to enjoy the area's spectacular views. Hikers can also find a variety of wildlife, including moose and deer, and often spot mountain goats on rugged Devil's Castle just south of Cecret Lake.
