Silver Glance Lake in 360 Degrees

Information about Silver Glance Lake

70 min South East of SLC
You have to Drive a Dirt Road to Silver Lake Flat which usually requires a 4 wheel drive vehicle.
Trail starts after you first hike from Silver Lake Flat to Silver Lake which is about 3 miles up, and then it heads up a steep 1 to 1.5 mile hike more up to Silver Lake Glance
The Views of Silver Lake are really beautiful from the trail.
This trail has really unique white boulders and cliffs and lots of wild flowers that makes it a really beautiful journey.
This lake can sometimes be a spot where you can catch seeing a moose. Gorgeous spot if you can. Just stay your distance and enjoy the view if you do.

The name Silver Lake can get so confusing, for there are so many lakes named Silver something especially in American Fork Canyon, Lone Peak Wilderness. If you pass Tibble Fork in American Fork Canyon, and head to the left, you drive a dirt road up to Silver Lake Flat Reservoir. (Picture below.) Here is my link to my walk around

On the north side of that lake is a restroom and a trail. If you take that trail it will take you up to Silver Lake (Picture below). As the crow flys it is 2.5 miles up, but when you walk the switchbacks it is 3.5 miles. Took me 2 hours to get to Silver lake. Here is my blog post on
Silver lake Hike.

SILVER GLANCE LAKE

My hiking buddy and I wanted a training hike to get ready to hike the top of Timp, so our Goal was Silver lake Glance which is a little over a mile past Silver lake. So as you get to Silver Lake, we turned right at Silver Lake and then watched for a trail heading off to the right. (There is also a trail that heads right before you get to Silver lake.)

Hiking Silver Lake and Silver lake Glance does not disappoint in the Wild Flowers.

So I read the climb would be steep, hard, and narrow, so I started a little worried that I would be scared of slipping and sliding on rocks. I was happily surprised that I did not have any problem following the trail, and the steep was not paired with loose rock (which made me super happy). I got a great workout without any stress and AMAZING VIEWS from all three of the lakes.. Silver Lake Reservoir, Silver Lake, and then Silver Lake Glance.

Below is a Fun 360 Degree Walk through some very Pretty Yellow Wild Flowers. Notice the trail is not too wide (which I like), the pretty mountain ahead is where we are heading, and if you rotate around you can see the a beautiful view of Silver Lake behind us. Of course, make sure you click on the forward and backwards arrows to see more.

Video at Silver Lake Glance, just click on it, and it will come up.

Below we are heading back down to Silver Lake which was a gorgeous walk down. It took us only an hour and a half to get up to Silver Lake Glance and back, so we decided we had time for a quick loop around the lake.
