At the pass

[Ben Egbert]

This was taken from a pull out near Bald Mountain Pass on the Mirror Lake hwy. This is a 10,700 ft pass. The mountain in front is Bald Mountain.

CC welcome.

Nice Ben! Cumulus can brighten the mood of any image. My nit is the lower right corner drawing the eye away from the mountains.

Thanks Tim, yes, I did not see it. But I did not want to cut off that right mountain.

Nice scene with the early dusting of snow on the peaks.

Does UDOT actually plow that pass during the winter? I can't say that I ever wandered up there during the snow months.

The road is closed, probably now, and not opened until around June. I have been up there when they were working on reopening. The snow at the end of the plow was at least 4 feet deep.

I think I can vaguely recall a gate just east of Kamas.

Right, and when they open it, it is in stages. The time I went early we got almost to Provo Falls.

This is really cool Ben, no wonder they call it Bald Mountain. I had the same thought about that lower right corner but like you I wouldn’t want to crop that peak on the right.

Thanks Jim, this was a hand held shot out the window of my truck. I could have parked and taken more effort, but i liked the look of these peaks as I came around the corner and decided to grab it.
