Small alpine reservoir tucked into Little Cottonwood Canyon offering mirrored water reflections, steep pine-lined canyon walls and seasonal color. Best at sunrise or late afternoon for warm side-light and calm winds; autumn brings vibrant foliage. Easily reached from Little Cottonwood Rd with short roadside walk; carry layers, camera and tripod. Weekdays and early mornings have few visitors; parking limited to pullouts—obey signs and stay on trails.
