One son and his wife joined us on an overnight trip to the Leidy Peak area on the eastern end of the Uinta Range. The above photo was taken from the southwest shoulder of Leidy Peak (12,028 ft), looking down Lakeshore Basin and southeast toward Marsh Peak (12,240 ft).
With three horses and 4 people, we took turns riding. Daisy didn't get to ride, but she didn't mind.
A series of lakes in Lakeshore Basin (10,800 ft) provided photo ops and swimming ops for Daisy.
Rest breaks were scenic, too.
Our son, the early riser, captured the sunrise. The rest of us had to wait for the photo download.
I'm glad your son is an early riser. That sunrise photo is gorgeous. It looks like you all had a great ride, and Daisy found quite a few swimming holes.
ReplyDeleteMust not be easy to keep up as a walker but looks like you did fine. Love the sunrise shot and the views.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots-fascinating and spectacular !
ReplyDeleteThe first panning shot is amazing. The light of the last shot is beautiful. This is like going on the expedition with you. So beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHow incredible is the view? I am amazed at what you see on your rides. Absolutely beautiful!! (I would have waited for the download of the sunrise as well).
ReplyDeleteWow, what a sunrise! What a place! So beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI just love clicking your photos to get the full effect. Beautiful day, gorgeous scenery and what a lovely sunrise!
ReplyDeletewell I'm glad he got up and took a picture of the sunrise, it was worth it. Do you get tired, trading off like that? I don't know if I could keep up with a horse.
ReplyDeletewow! what a place!
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning area to spend time with the family. Photos are gorgeous and I feel like I am traveling with you through them, thanks so much Janie. Thanks also for stopping by and wishing our son a happy birthday. I had a smile when you told me your son and grandson loved the same movie.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous area....and that sunrise? That is almost worth waking up early! ;)

ReplyDeleteThank your early riser for sharing the beauty he saw. Many thanks to you Janie and Steve.
ReplyDeleteI so enjoyed those gorgeous mountain views and Mischief's video.
I love the shot that Eric got. Yeah...I sure wouldn't have been up that early either. Thank goodness for photos or I might never see a good sunrise. :)
