August Snow

[Photo-John]

Yeah, you read that right. And no, I'm not in New Zealand or Chile. It snowed this morning in the mountains above Salt Lake City. I think there was snow on the ground down to about 8000 feet (2400m). Naturally, I had to make a quick drive up the canyon to get some photos. I was a little late and most of the snow had melted by the time I got up there. But there was still some on the ground as well as periodic fluries.

The first photo is 11,000 foot Mt. Baldy with a little dusting of snow left.

The second photo is looking north, across Little Cottonwood Canyon, with just a little bit of snow coming down

The third photo is looking over the north shoulder of East Greeley at 11,100 foot Mt. Superior, across the canyon from Alta and Snowbird.
