We woke to another beautiful day, and since the forecast says it might change tomorrow, we took advantage and went back to Silver Lake for the walk. There was much less traffic this time so we were able to enjoy the scenery even more. The aspens are a brilliant yellow and the maples are bright red/orange. I tried taking pictures, but they really don't capture the beauty. The summit was 9,700+ feet and the lake is at 8,400 feet so the nice flat mile walk was plenty. We've really noticed how the elevation (about 7,000 feet at Park City) affects us with even moderate exertion. The humidity is about 30% so we feel like we're shriveling up.
We had a simple lunch at a little cafe at the Brighton ski resort cafe and then headed back home through Midway this time. This is a big ranching area and again we saw huge homes hanging off the hillsides. Can't figure where all the money comes from.
