Last year I tried to snowshoe into this place and fell several times, Getting up with the help of my pole tore my rotator cuff requiring surgery in September. This year with less snow, I figured I could walk one of the trails and it was packed enough for my snow boots to work ok.

Unfortunately the peak in the back was cloud covered getting worse after 45 minutes of waiting so I took my best shots and left.

Today’s hike is exactly one week after gall bladder surgery, so I am happy for a speedy recovery.

Still looks like a nice place - and looks like it would be pretty colorful at the right time in the fall. I have always liked the contrasts of the stone and the snow near your area. Not the view we had of the Wasatch Range from the bench in Salt Lake City.

This is the same place I go to each fall, but in fall I can drive up and park right next to this location. In winter, it's about a mile of snow hiking at a final elevation of 7200 feet. This just up the road from the Sundance ski resort.

Hey Ben,

Good job on getting out so soon nd hiking in the snow!

That foreground peak on the left is enough to carry this image. If there is a peak in the background that is covered, it's not hurting the image I don't think as the one large peak and the hill balance the scene well.

Thanks Jim, this is a tune up for next week when I will be in Moab. Glad this worked ok without the major peak. If you know it's there, ya want it, but if ya don't know it probably does not matter.

Excellent shot and good for you that you insist on remaining active.

A short story. My brother in law had several stents put in, the doctor said to go home and just do what you feel like doing; so he mowed the grass (in the summer in Alabama). His wife and the doctor almost fell out... but he felt fine :)... Mike

Thanks Jeffery, I just don't want to miss too much, you only get seasonal opportunities when they come, and if you miss out, its a year gone by.

That's a great story, you only have so much time, you have to spend it at your fullest or loses it.
