I love that we live so close to amazing mountain ranges. Wednesday evening after work we hopped in the car, stopped at Jersey Mikes along the way to grab some sandwiches, then drove up American Fork Canyon to find a nice place to hike. Our goal was to get to Silver Lake Flat which is about 3 miles past Tibble Fork Reservoir. Tibble Fork has become a popular spot for kayaking, canoeing, and paddle boarding now that the state has completed the update to the dam. It's a really nice spot now and the water is so blue! However we like to take the rough dirt road past this reservoir to Silver Lake which sits high above the canyon. It's an incredible spot and it's far less crowded because not many people venture up there.

We enjoyed our subs by the lakeside and then hiked part way up silver lake trail. Upper Silver Lake sits nestled between mountain tops and is a glacial lake. We didn't go all the way up the trail this time because we got a late start, but have hiked it before. Highly recommend it. This was a lovely evening and we were home before dark! We live in a good place.
