About this postcard

A red-rock cliff rises above the dark green conifers and still water of Lake Blanche, with the peak and trees mirrored in the lake and branches framing the top of the view. The card names the spot as Lake Blanche in Cottonwood Canyon, Utah — a glacial tarn in Big Cottonwood Canyon of the Wasatch Range, southeast of Salt Lake City, long a destination for hikers climbing from the Mill B trailhead. The printed caption runs vertically along the right edge of the scan, which is rotated a quarter turn.
