Alexander Lake gets very little rain; during February this area sees the most snow while June is the month with the least amount of precipitation. A great close by hotel is Daniels Summit Lodge, and you get a delightful vista of Iron Mine Mountain from here.

Uinta Mountains, you might not ever wanna go back home again. If you need a place to stay Lodge at Stillwater is a good choice; if the weather is great, you can go for a hike along the Nobletts Creek Trail. While you're here at Alexander
Lake, you could also check out beautiful Buckeye Lake, and let's not forget Cobble Creek which is a stream that you may bump into while here. This lake is so wonderful. Going for a hike along the Smith Morehouse Trail will let you
absorb the natural beauty of this region, and what would a place like Alexander Lake be without interesting nearby features like Duchesne Monument.
Yeah, come up here to the Uinta Mountains for a delightful time. A good spot like
Lambert Meadow here at Alexander Lake is too great to miss, and Smooth Rock Falls is a brilliant local attraction. If you want a splendid time in the great outdoors, just come on down to Alexander Lake. Why not camp at Shady Dell Campground while you're here at Alexander Lake, and you'll come across a wonderful lake called Spectacle Lake.

Highline Trail
 | 11 miles away
The U.S. Forrest Service last attention to this trail was in 1994/1995 and the trail markings in many places is all but non-existent. Portions of the trail---particularly in the meadows areas have been overgrown and rock cairn markers, where they do exist, are often overgrown and difficult to find. Do not attempt this trail without detailed terrain maps and GPS equipment and the ability to use both. It would also be a good idea to carry a satellite phone (rentals are available) as there is no cell phone signal anywhere along the route from the Mirror Lake trailhead on the West all the way to the Chepeta lake trailhead on the East... |

LaMarla Lake
| 13 miles away
Lamarla Lake received it's name from my mother, Margaret Gurr Hamblin, her sister LaVon Gurr Hansen and LaVar Davies,(nephew of my dad Lyman Duane Hamblin Jr.) They were camping and fishing in the Uinta Mountains. While hiking they came upon the beautiful little lake. They decided to give it a name. They took LA from LaVar, MAR from Margaret, and LA from LaVon, forming the name LAMARLA. They posted the name by the lake. I grew up hearing this story. My mother Margaret passed away over twenty years ago. LaVon is still alive and lives with her husband, Omar in Springville, UT. LaVar is also living and resides in St. George UT. Both are in their eighties. As a child my favorite horse was named Lamarla.... |

Great ride from above Woodland to the 1000 E. bridge (which is a good scare during high water, 1500 cfs). After the bridge the log jams, second diversion dam and constant river splits can be fun in the right craft (13 ft raft, not recommended). Great rush!...
Yeah...this river especially the lower part...really rocks.... |
