A Day on Bald Mountain

This was a Spectacular hike ... short in length, moderate difficulty and exceptional views --- all at nearly 12,000 Feet.

It is Not to the confused with a NIGHT on Bald Mountain heard here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCEDfZgDPS8

or seen here: Disney's Fantasia - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLCuL-K39eQ  (1941) It wasn't like that at all!

Bald Mountain is in the Uintas, not far from Park City .. about an hour drive actually, quite nice! We did this hike somewhat unexpectedly.... that is, Alicia said, "Let's do something" So we did.

Okay, so there was 3 days of rain in Park City, and we noticed that there was snow at elevation - maybe 9500'. Which suggested that at over 11,000 there could be snow -----  THERE WAS!
Here I am getting a dose.

Above treeline -- way above treeline

Most alpine flowers are over at this elevation in Sept.... this color remains.

Along the trail .. way up

At the top

Mr Snowman -- actual height about 4 feet, took a LONG time to collect enough snow.

Actually Mr Snowman was only about 4 inches tall ... shows what perspective can do.
The trail at 12,000 feet ...

On the way down.... down and out
