We took the opportunity with the Labor Day holiday to run down to our favorite reservoir to do a little camping, relaxing, and swimming. We met up with our friends James and Amber, and also my brother Jeff and his wife Mandi. We did a little fishing, some swimming, and hiked up the CCC trail on the East side of the lake to the over-look.

This lake is awesome because I still believe it's one of Utah's hidden secrets. There are many (especially in the outdoor crowd) that are aware of it, but every time we go there we feel like we have it all to ourselves. Rarely is there anyone at the cliffs jumping and rarely is there ever more than 2-3 boats on the lake. I love it.

Lots of rock jumping. We were jumping off the regular rock. The lake was a bit lower so the jump was nice. Could not jump off the middle stage rocks above because there wasn't enough depth in the water at the landing spot. James was using his GoPro for his jumps. Can't wait to see the footage on that and also can't wait to get one of those!
