Lookin’ good! How did you like it?

It was wonderful. Could you see me waving at you up north? I think there was more haze in the valleys yesterday than there was the weekend before. What was the air quality like from Ben Lomond and Willard Peaks?

It seemed to be better north of Salt Lake. Still some haze but not bad..

There's looking your direction. Even with the haze I could see Nebo to the south, Pilot Peak to the west, the Raft River range to the north and the Uintas to the east. So I'm guessing it was not all that bad.

You'll have to tell me about that one. I've been out there three times but never made it to the high point!

We didn't make it to the high point either. By the time we reached the saddle (where the picture was taken), we didn't have enough time left in the day to summit and get back to my Jeep before it got dark and I didn't pack a headlamp. From where we were, you could just follow the ridge to the top. It was the first time that I've been out there and I had to guess at the route a bit and I underestimated the time it would take us to get to the crest. We had it all to ourselves though and we saw three deer, a hawk, a rabbit and a number of chukars. As we ate our late lunch, we watched one of the deer climb a ridge up the east side, come over the crest then down a western ridge. It didn't seem to realize that we were there. I'll head back in the spring when there is more light in the day to reach the top.

Heads up. I just heard that the State Park system is considering opening up the island to ATV's. You might want to provide feedback even though I have not found that they are asking for the public's opinion....
 
Eh, here I am. Near Sunrise Peak above Alta a couple weeks ago.

Ooops, can't remember how to put a picture in ...
