Here are some pictures from a trip I just took with my family to the Uintas wilderness area in the Utah Wasatch Mountains. Very pretty.

I have about 454 mosquito bites, however. Hopefully I did not contract West Nile Virus…

This is one side of the lake. We spent a lot of time in this area for a couple of days trying to catch fish.

This next picture shows the ‘mirror’ of Mirror Lake. I know there are Mirror Lakes all over, I guess Mountain Men weren’t very imaginative when it came to naming things.

“Let’s call this one Mirror Lake, Leroy…”
“That is a right fine idea, Earnest. I was thinking Silver Lake, myself, but we done named one that the other day.”

This area in the Uintas has a lot of mountains that don’t have any trees. In fact, there is a mountain called Bald Mountain (again a very imaginative name) that is shown in the last picture, but this next shot shows a typical scene when looking around the area.

Here is a shot of Layne and Marshall fishing on the first night. I know this breaks rules of composition by not letting you see what the kids are looking at but I liked the stances of the two of them.

On the second day we took a hike up to some other lakes. This one is called Bonny Lake and is about a mile from Mirror Lake. They spelled Bonny wrong according to our family:

There were some pretty wildflowers near the lake (and also all over the area)

My Dad and I hiked up further to another lake called Scudder Lake and got up there in time to be met by one of the very reliable afternoon rain showers. It didn’t rain too much until we made it back to camp I am happy to report.

We had a good time. I have heard it said when you have nothing else to say, stop talking, so I think I will apply the same principle here.
