Emerald Lake is a small proglacial lake near the summit of Mount Timpanogos in the middle of the Mount Timpanogos Wilderness in the Wasatch Range in northeastern Utah County, Utah, United States.[1][2]
Description
The lake is northeast of the summit of Mount Timpanogos, at the base of the almost vertical northeast face of the mountain, with an elevation of Шаблон:Convert.[1][3] The now mostly vanished and completely buried Timpanogos Glacier left behind a terminal moraine which now impounds the lake. The runoff from the rock glacier feeds the lake and colors it blue.[4] The lake is accessible by hiking, the Mount Timpanogos Trail (also known as the Aspen Grove Trail) from Aspen Grove being the fastest way to reach it. The lake is Шаблон:Convert from the trailhead,[5] or about two-thirds of the way up to the summit.
During summer weekends the Timpanogos Emergency Response Team (TERT) stations volunteers at a camp near Emerald Lake to assist with emergency incidents that frequently occur on the mountain.[6]
According to some versions of The Legend of Timpanogos, Emerald Lake is the immortalization of Red Eagle, after he fell to his death from the peak of Mount Timpanogos.[7]
