The Logan Canyon and Bear Lake

After my morning walk we were taken by Carlo and Sidne to Bear Lake about 40 miles away via Logan Canyon. Bear Lake is on the border of Utah and Idaho and covers about 109 sq. miles with an average depth of about 90ft. It was very quiet as the tourist industry almost closes down after Labor Day holiday the first weekend of September. It will pick up again in the winter when skiing and snowmobiling starts. 

Bear Lake is a unique turquoise-blue colour due to the refraction of limestone suspended in the lake. It is a very attractive place but has a lethal hill (8%) from where this photo was taken down to the lakeside

Gaye minus that hat with our wonderful hosts Carlo and Sidne. We first met them 15 years ago when Fraser and Leslie got engaged and since then we have seen them many times as they have been to Scotland 3 times and we have visited them in Mendon, Utah about 8 times. We have travelled Highway 1 in California with them and also northern California plus a holiday in Hawaii with them and Fraser and Leslie in 2007. They love Scotland and hope to come again sometime soon when Graham Travel service will try and plan something special for them.
