White Pine Lake — Logan Canyon
When the wildflowers are blooming this is one of the most beautiful hikes in Utah. If wildflower season is over, the hike through the pines, aspens and a gurgling brook with views of mountain peaks will have to suffice until you reach the lake.

Elevation change • 756 feet
Difficulty • Moderate
Directions to trailhead • Follow U.S. 89 out of Logan. Go past Utah State University and into the canyon. From the ranger station at the mouth of the canyon, travel about 20 miles and turn left at the Tony Grove turnoff. Make another quick left and drive up the hill about 7 miles. Park at the paved trailhead.
