Enjoying the Warm Stream Waters There are a few hot springs (in Saratoga Springs, UT) at the north end of Utah Lake. There's a very small stream that lets them drain into the lake. It was about 40 degrees out, but the water was nice and warm. The boys took the opportunity to enjoy a bit of the warm water.

Sunset at Utah Lake I've heard about the ice sheets that pile up around Utah lake when it's freezing cold for days (or weeks on end), and this is the first time I've seen them. Someone else at the lake told me they'd been there a week or so, so they're not as fresh as they could be. They've had a bit of snow fall on them and they've had some time to melt a bit in the sun and re-freeze.

Still, it was fun to finally see them and get some photos with them.
