Mirror Lake Seven

Two or three miles further up SR-150 is the turnoff to Mirror Lake, a beautiful forested lake set at 10, 050 feet (3,060 metre) high in the Uinta Mountains. It is about a 53 square acres (about a quarter of a square kilometre) in size, although it seems much larger, probably from the grandeur of the setting. For my family and friends in New Zealand and Australia, Mirror Lake is 2,740 feet (or 835 metres) higher than Mt Kosciuszko, the tallest mountain in the Australian mainland. It is only 2,266 feet (or 690 metres) lower than the peak of Mt Cook, the tallest mountain in New Zealand proper. So in other words, it is up there!
