When we rode in the Indian Canyon area last Sunday, (trailhead 8900 ft/ 2700 m) we found a taste of winter awaiting us.
The temperature never got much about freezing, and the forest trails were dusted with snow.
After the last few days of winter storm, that same trail probably has 6 inches of snow. We still have lots of lower areas in which to ride, but terrain above 9000 feet will be snow-covered until spring.
How gorgeous!!! I fantasize about how nice the cool air would feel...it is 98 here today. BUT we have a cool front coming in on Monday and expect highs in the mid 80's. :0 wanna trade for a few days?
Oh Janie that is a splendid sight I do not get to see very often. It sure is beautiful as I sit here in my 80 degree weather. I enjoy a touch of winter.
Well, I see you've had some snow at altitude, too. We keep checking UT ski areas - just in case we should bring our skis along to SL.
ReplyDeletebrrrr. It's been cold and windy here but no snow yet. yeah!
ReplyDeleteWe had a sheet of ice under an inch of snow this morning, all the way down the canyon. I guess it's winter now.
ReplyDeleteHow gorgeous!!!

Well you know how much I love snow. However, it's a little EARLY for me--since I am still enjoying Fall.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures though. I'll bet you all miss riding in the higher elevations during the winters.. Glad there are trails that you can check out.
Happy Halloween.

ReplyDeleteOh you're trailing at winter mountain!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing nice photos.
This was a pretty preview of winter. I've heard about the storm out your way and I can only say that I hope you keep the snow in the west.
ReplyDeleteSo Beautiful, what a wonderful view! I think it's neat that you can ride up into the snow like that.
ReplyDeleteSnow pic is so cool... Lucky you enjoy snow in your part of the world...

It looks very cold there. We are still fairly warm.
ReplyDeleteMischief is so white! That's a great picture of him with the snowy white bark of the aspens and the snow-dusted landscape.
ReplyDeleteThe snow is beautiful, but sounds cold.
