Mirror Lake and Provo Falls

Have you ever gone to a new place that was in your own state or home town and thought “I never knew that this was in my own backyard!”?  Well that is exactly what happened to me when I took a trip to see the amazing sites between Camus, Utah and Evanston, Wyoming.   The first awe inspiring place is Provo River Falls; these naturally formed waterfalls are both gorgeous and easy to access.  Many of the falls feed into one another, creating an intricate maze of waterfalls going down the river.  Since it’s not a very steep or dangerous place, it would be a fantastic family trip.

As you head farther up the road from the falls, you will start to pass numerous lakes.  Don’t speed on by the lakes because each lake is either a different color or reflects the wilderness around it, making the lake appear to be a portal into another world.  The last of the Lakes is Mirror Lake.  This is the largest of the lakes, and, like the lakes before, reflects the wilderness around it.  What makes mirror lake a little more special than the other lakes in the surrounding area is that it reflects the surrounding the mountains and the beautiful blue sky behind it.  It is the most breath taking of the lakes.  So next time you’re heading toward Evanston, consider taking a detour through Camus and seeing some of the wonders of the world.
