A few weeks ago, I set out on my first exploration outside of SLC. I wanted to take a scenic drive to a short, easy hike. So, I took the Mirror Lake Scenic Byway through the Uintas and hiked to Ruth Lake.
Ruth Lake was a really easy hike. Like, I was almost embarrassed to be doing it because it was only about 2 miles and mostly flat. But it was definitely scenic! This is a hike I would take my non-hiking friends on.

Luckily, I remembered seeing nearby Naomi Lake on a map, just over a nearby ridge. This was exactly what I wanted! It was off-trail, so I had the place to myself. And the area around it was gorgeous, so I just wandered around and explored for a while. Then I sat and read the new Susan Elizabeth Phillips book, and messed around with Snapchat selfies, and even went for a quick dip.
On the way back from Ruth Lake, I stopped by Provo River Falls. I was surprised to see that there were three separate falls- so pretty!
The leaves were just starting to change, and I am so excited to experience fall here! It was so depressing when it was still in the 90's all through October in Phoenix.
