the biggest and lushest
expanse of Arctic-Alpine tundra I've ever seen outside the Rockies. Although we
were too late for the wildflowers that must be fantastic up there earlier in
the summer, several register entries praised the display. (We also noted that
some four-legged equine mountaineers had even made it to the top up the gentle
west side.)
That same day, we reluctantly headed back to Vegas via
Cedar Breaks and Brian Head. (The latter is an 11,300' drive-up peak that
shouldn't be missed. The view from the top is almost better than from the peaks
in the Tushurs!) It's great to live in the West... and appreciate
it! |
