Local beauty abounds

The weather was perfect for a hike through the Snow Mountains this Sunday, September 14. With fall weather surely not far away, I headed out with a copy of "Platte Valley Adventures" published by the Saratoga Sun which contains maps of various trails throughout Carbon County.

The day did not dissappoint. Sunshine, fresh air, wildlife and beautiful surroundings made for some great photo opportunities. The photos on the right are from the trail around Mirror Lake and Lewis Lake.

I feel very lucky to live in an area with such ecological diversity. From mountains to grasslands, Carbon County has it all.

All I can say is, try this near home folks. Grab your camera, get out and enjoy our last days of summer.
