Love Letter to Mirror Lake (7.18.26)

Dave and I have loved Mirror Lake and the Uintah Mountains for more than fifty years.  We now own a cabin in Oakley, near Mirror Lake, and we visit the lake often, in all seasons.  

On July 18, 2026, we spent an afternoon hiking around the lake and celebrating a sunny summer day in the mountains with a whole host of other people who love Mirror Lake.

Each time we hike around the Mirror Lake, we find new angles to capture its beauty--both the big vistas and the little things, like flowers and logs and a burbling stream feeding into the lake.

As we drove home through Oakley, we passed quaint homes festooned with American flags for the July patriotic holidays.  We committed to finding ways to show our own love of country.
