Notes About The Poem

Cecret Lake, usually spelled and pronounced by most people as Secret Lake and considered Utah's most beautiful wildflower hike, is situated in the Timpanogos Mountain, home also of the Timpanogos Cave National Monument in the Wasatch Mountain Range. There are many sites to enjoy in this mountain range! I only need to drive 15 minutes to be close to the entrance to Timpanogos!

10 to 12 years ago, with my some of my family up at the lake.I''m at far right with my mom and my daughter Angie is behind us.

 

Secret Lake

Lying where songbirds have a treetop view
of clear blue water near a rocky trail,
Secret Lake is not so hard to get to
nor very secret, for folks know it well!

Where colorful fish are swimming, this lake
is popular in summer, and such cool
refreshment is its water that people make
the hike in droves to this gigantic pool.

Nearby are wild flowers, bright and yellow,
and other scenic views you’ll see around.
It’s a place to picnic and feel mellow.
Sounds of nature and tranquilness abound.

Waiting for some bread crumbs, and on the loose,
are ducks, but if you are adventurous,
walk all around the lake. Perhaps a moose
you’ll spot! Your time there will be marvelous!

Anne-Marie Coreggia May 22, 2017 at 12:17 PM This is a wonderful poem Andrea and I loved the pictures. Like Debbie, that reminded me of Lake Tahoe in CA, but I bet you don't have the crazy traffic that sometimes congests the access to lake Tahoe:) Amitiés

Debbie Duncan May 22, 2017 at 12:31 AM Reminds me of Lake Tahoe here in Calif. Sometimes I think I should move up that way. Or back to Oregon where I lived for two years. Seems no matter what part of the country I go to. I always come back to Sacramento :)

Carol B. May 21, 2017 at 11:21 PM Andrea, sounds like a great place to visit. I would love to be the songbird on the treetop to take in the amazing views. Lovely family photo :) Great poem!

Richard Lamoureux May 20, 2017 at 9:15 AM The cecret is out. I love this paring of words and picture. We have Lake Kalamalka here in the Okanagan. According to National Geographic it is one of the ten most beautiful lakes in the world.
