Meadows and Springs

The Taylor Mountain Road provides access to some of the prettiest meadows around.
We ride past springs, fenced and piped to a trough to keep the cattle from tromping the marshy area where the water comes out of the earth. 
We ride down quiet, aspen-lined lanes (the leaves are just coming out at about 8000 ft.)
over hills covered in wildflowers,
and through open country with views of the Uinta Mountains.

  2. I too like the aspen lane shot. I hope you go back this fall so we can see the aspens in color. And the wildflower shot...like some little kid splattered fingerpaints on a photo. Very nice.

  3. Oh my goodness. INCREDIBLE wildflowers against perfect scenery. And that aspen lined trail...I would love nothing better than to run down there:)
    Just beautiful.

  4. That aspen lane is really neat looking, you need to get a pic of it when all the leaves come in!

  5. That is so beautiful: It really paints a portrait of a slice of paradise that before your blog nobody ever saw. Not to worry, we won't be trammeling it anytime soon. For one, I can't ride a horse!

  8. Very beautiful. Where is all your snow? I here you still have about 400% of normal. Isn't it great to be out in the mountains again?

  9. I love my virtual rides with you. The last time I got on a horse was in Ireland over 30 years ago.

  10. Great pics. That looks like Lawrence of Arabia in the top one.

    I also love the lane through the aspens.

    Thanks for sharing.

  15. Another lovely ride! I don't know if I could live anywhere again where I am not surrounded by BLM/forest service land or wilderness. I am soooo lucky to have spent so much time in the West!
