Pictures from the Wasatch Mts.

I’m at Snowbird, high in the Wasatch Mountains of Utah. This is my first time up here in the summer. I've skied Alta, which is next door to Snowbird (Alta use to only allow skiers, which meant that the snow was much better to ski on). Anyway, the lectures and workshops ended yesterday morning allowing me a chance yesterday afternoon to take the gondola up to the top and hike around. I headed over to Mt. Baldy and followed the ridge above Alta, before dropping down the 3000 feet back to the hotel/conference center. It was a wonderful hike. From the top, you could see the billowing smoke from a distant fire to the east. Also, up high, as the snow is still melting, flowers are everywhere. Enjoy the shots.
Looking west, down Little Cottonwood Canyon, toward the south end of the Salt Lake valley.
On top of Mt. Baldy. If you look close to my left leg, you'll see a large fly chewing on me! He quickly met his maker.
A snow bank slowly melting under the summer sun.

I love pictures of trails, this one cutting across a meadow on the side of the mountain.
