This summer we were able to explore some of the fishing spots around Salt Lake City, UT. The first place we visited, Silver Lake, is only 30 miles/45 minutes southeast of the City. It is a beautiful lake situated in the Wasatch National Forest accessible by Highway 190 from the City. Situated at an elevation of 8730 feet above sea level, the lake is popular with out-of-state tourists as well as local visitors and the drive is fairly easy. Beautiful mountains surround Silver Lake providing a great locale for panorama-style photographs.
The most common trees are Aspen and Subalpine Fir. The Aspens make their food and energy in the winter by photosynthesis in their bark! The Fir trees have needle like leaves like most evergreens, to conserve their energy. If you look around you may catch a short-tailed weasel and snowshoe hare. The weasels are small animals that hunt primarily for mice.The snowshoe hare change their color from brown in summer to white in winter and have snowshoe-like feet. There is a boardwalk around the lake for easy walking and docks for fishing. We were at this place from late morning to evening and did some fishing and hiking.
