From the top of Coyote Ridge, 9800 feet, we look down on a few remaining snow fields and over an expanse of green forests and meadow. Currant Creek Reservoir can be seen in the distance.
To the north, the High Uintas are still covered in snow.
There is something for everyone on this ride.

On the forest trail, bluebirds flit through the branches. A wren swoops out of a cavity nest in an aspen. We see deer, elk, a coyote, and a golden eagle.
Nature has shared her heart with us this day. We are grateful.
And you have shared with me, and I am grateful too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post. . .love the flowers and that dog having such a fine roll .
Cheers,

What a beautiful ride you had at 9800 feet... Amazing that most of the snow is gone from there... But those Uintas in the distance must be MUCH higher... I know when we were in the Rockies in Colorado, we got up to about 12,000 feet --and there was still alot of snow there in June...
ReplyDeleteDaisy certainly enjoys herself, doesn't she???? Love seeing the wildflowers. That Glacier Lily is so pretty...
Thanks for sharing this wonderful ride.
Hugs,
Betsy
I like Daisy's idea of laying in the flowers. Magnificent views.
ReplyDeleteGreen and beautiful. Boss looks like he's prancing in his first picture. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy viewing your high mountain rides.
ReplyDeleteThe top of the world is absolutely gorgeous. I really like the mountain views, but the wildflowers are gorgeous. I'm happy to see Daisy enjoyed this ride.
ReplyDeleteI was in your neck of the woods again a couple of weeks ago. The desert got hot so we went way up high. The flowers weren't blooming up there yet but they bloomed for you!!!!! Gorgeous photos.
ReplyDeleteWonderful vistas and wildflowers. The glacier lily is gorgeous and reminds me of our shooting stars...:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a scenic ride through spring! You have so many flowers blooming. The snow in my yard finally melted this week.
ReplyDeleteI'm always surprised by all the wildlife that you manage to see on your outings...makes me wonder just how much I'm oblivious to when I'm out wandering the woods.

ReplyDeletereminds me of that old carpenter song--"I'm on the top of the world, lookin down on creation . . . and it's a good thing in Utah. Lovely ride today.
