Uinta Mountains, Utah

We went for a day drive a few days ago to the Uinta mountains. This is Mirror Lake. We had to park on the highway and walk through snow to get to the lake.
The elevation of Mirror Lake is just over 10,000 feet.
The Unita Mountain range is the highest in Utah.
There were several waterfalls but this one was the most spectacular.


Kings Peak, the highest in Utah at over 13,000 feet.
We decided to come out Provo Canyon and stop at Sundance Ski Resort and have a nice dinner. We've never been to Sundance. It was a beautiful place. And my dinner was exceptional.
Looks like a fun place to ski, someday I hope to experience skiing here.
The river running through the ski area was ragging. The banks were overflowing. Some areas were unsafe.


The main reason we went on this drive was because of this car. It's a KIA Optima. We recently got it. It's very fun to drive.
