100th POST!!! - Deseret Peak - in Utah west of Salt Lake City

This is my 100th post!!! And to celebrate I want to give someone a FREE 8x10 of any photo from my blog, unless it is someone else's family (that is weird). All you have to do is be the first person to email me, put "100th post 8x10 giveaway" in the subject line, and tell me which one you want. That is it! Good luck! (And if enough people email me, I will give a FREE 5x7 print to emailer #10, #20, #30, and so on...) THANKS for following my blog!!!


Brent on the South Willow Creek route of the Deseret Peak loop trail.
A deer just before we got the the ridge. I know, its very small.
Brent, on the switchbacks right before reaching the ridge.
Nice mountains north of Deseret Peak.
The ridge. Very windy here. Turn right to get to the summit.
Brent and Koko walking along the ridge, northward towards the peak.
We thought that one in the back was the summit, but the true summit is still hidden from view.

Climbing along the west side of Deseret Peak, getting close to the summit.
Nice cliff on the east face of the false summit.
The summit of Deseret Peak!
The view eastward from Deseret Peak. The Great Salt Lake on the left side, Grantsville underneath the lake, and Tooele on the right side of the picture at the base of those mountains.
Those nice looking mountains again, from the summit of Deseret.
Me and Brent at the summit, and Koko.
Koko was tired. 6.5 miles hiked so far, and that far to get back to the truck.
Eating some snacks on the summit, trying to get out of the wind a little.
Me on the summit.
Skull Valley, west of Deseret Peak.
Those are the color photos from this trip. All are 35mm Fujifilm. The black and white ones are on 120 medium format film.


I thought this was the peak, but it turned out to be a false peak. The true summit is slightly higher and just behind this one out of view. But this is a pretty nice cliff on the east face of the mountain.
Some nice mountains just north of Deseret Peak.
Skull Valley to the west, as seen from the summit of Deseret Peak.
All three were taken with Mamiya RZ67 on Fuji Acros 100 B&W film, with a red filter in front of the lens.
