Johnson Valley Reservoir
Looks like the perfect mountain lake surrounded by rolling hills and the great fall color of the tall aspens.
Fish Lake
Beautiful lake surrounded by the Fishlake National Forest!
It's the largest natural mountain lake in Utah and considered one of the state's gems.

Couldn't believe our eyes--a white pelican and seagulls in lake. Sure didn't expect to see these up in a Utah mountain lake.Good reflection in water near Doctor Creek.
Mytoge Mountain Road (Forest Road 046)
Delightful mountain scenery with panoramic views of Fish Lake.
Loved driving through the Aspen Groves with glowing color.
One Aspen Grove was all white (leaves gone)--stunning; even a tepee and old cabin.

ASPEN TREE INFO:The woods hold another attraction, one you may not recognize at first glance. Fishlake National Forest is home to "Pando," a group of genetically identical male Aspen trees that share the same root system. "Pando" is the heaviest living organism in the world and is spread atop the Fish Lake Plateau.
