Headed up Mount Van Cott this morning with my daughter, who is back from Portland. Since she has been near sea level for the past four months, and I'm just off giving blood last Saturday, we chose a rather easy hike. On our way to the top, we saw 12 mule deer, heard a chukar, though we couldn't locate it, and saw rabbit tracks on the summit. Not bad for a short hike.
Our goal
Katie out ahead
Deer scat near the trail
Somehow Katie has gotten a lot faster than me now.
There's old slow poke!
Can you make out the deer on the ridge to the south of us?
Dry Canyon
More deer across the way
I gave you the large shot on this one. Can you see the deer on the rocks at the top of the ridge? It's just a little more than halfway down the ridge, just below a reflective patch out in the valley. If I had a better zoom lens, this could have been a nice shot.
A few leaves left on this scrub oak.
The Dude Benchmark to the north
Black Mountain Ridge
Looking south at Mount Wire and the old airplane beacon
I had to lure Katie up with Circus Peanuts. Thanks @TractorDoc!
You know, she could be in a circus act. Please don't try this at home.
Look at the Big smile @Bob !
Rabbit tracks
Nice view of the foothills north of the Salt Lake Valley
Unnamed hill on the north side of Dry Canyon
back at the Sube.
The End.
