New Release of October Sky

The wonderful fall weather was amazing and this 5 mile hike was good for my soul. This is a high mountain trail that starts at just over 10,000 feet and visits many wonderful lakes and ponds. We approached Wall Lake as the sun was setting and seeing the color form in the sky we rushed to the shore for the sunset. I set up and photographed as the sky exploded in color. I chose this spot quickly because I liked the shoreline receding into the distance and the log in the lower right corner. My wife and I watched in awe as the water reflected the sky in shades of magenta. We ended finishing the last mile of the hike in the dark but it was well worth it to photograph such an amazing sunset over Wall Lake with Mount Watson towering in the background.

Uinta Mountains

The Uinta Mountains pronounced Yoo-in-ta are a subrange of the Rocky Mountains that trend east-west along the Utah, Wyoming border. The range has peaks ranging from 11,000–13,528 feet, with the highest point being Kings Peak, also the highest point in Utah. The Mirror Lake Highway crosses the western half of the Uintas on its way to Wyoming.
