Hiking on Grandeur Peak

Grandeur Peak is an 8300-foot peak in the Wasatch Mountains just east of Salt Lake City. In fact, you can look east from our front porch and get a glorious view of Grandeur Peak. Even better, I can walk out my front door and within three hours, be at the summit of Grandeur Peak.

Because it’s so close, I’ve spent quite a bit of time in the last ten years hiking on Grandeur Peak. Today’s version of hiking on Grandeur Peak was motivated by a look at the weather report for the weekend: rain and snow. Today, on the other hand, was about as nice a fall day as you could ask for: clear air, blue skies and temperatures in the sixties. If I didn’t already live here, today would be as good a reason to move to Salt Lake City as any.

After I finished work today, I gathered my camera and our dog Pearl and headed for the trail heading up Grandeur Peak. Some of the photos I took turned out well enough that I thought I would share them here. Enjoy!
