The trail and the lake are awesome! Don't park in the parking lot though unless you pay or you will get a $50 ticket. We got one and we even paid at the kiosk. It was a waste of time to fight a ticket when we had already paid! Take the free Park City shuttle!

What a wonderful way to start a weekend of being outdoors in Park city. Walking through the forest surrounding the ski slopes was mildly challenging and very beautiful.
