Overview

Hype:

Tony Grove's name derived from its popularity with wealthy residents of Logan in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. A seven-mile paved road climbs to a height of 8,050 feet to reach Tony Grove Lake. An explosion of summer wildflowers greets visitors to this area during July and August. A colorful profusion of geraniums, paintbrushes, columbines, lupines, daisies, and mountain sunflowers stretch for miles across the meadows north of Tony Grove Trailhead. Powerful slow moving glaciers formed the original Tony Grove Lake. The size of the lake was augmented with an earthen dam built in the 1930s. Tony Grove has unique geology and abundant plant and animal life on the Tony Grove self guided nature trail around the lake. Tony Grove Campground provides 37 campsites for those who wish to stay overnight, reservations are highly recommended. A fully accessible boardwalk and picnic area are located near the water. There are multiple single track trails that lead to different destinations, White Pine lake North East of Tony Grove or trails that lead to the top of the Cirque wall and the Mt. Naomi Wilderness.

Story

After a busy day, we headed up to Tony Grove for a picnic and time in the mountains. We set up a picnic at one spot, but it was too sunny, so we moved to a better spot. After a late lunch, the kids all stripped naked and splashed around in the lake. Then several of us hiked the nature trail around the lake while the others stayed at the picnic area. Then we all packed up and went back to the Airbnb, stopping at Ricks Spring on the way.
