One of the best-kept secrets of eastern Utah. They're in the 12,000-foot elevation range. Just looked at some of my pictures from a trip there 2 years ago. Vertical gullies, just like in your picture. I believe the high point in your picture is Mt. Peale. I think what I like about it is the way the snowy peak seems to belong to a different world.

That scene is a highly cropped image of a photo taken between Durango, CO and Moab, UT on our way to Arches National Park. Not sure what the names of the mountains are, though. Here's the uncropped image: http://bimmermail.com/DSC00713.JPG Hi Jenny,

Washington Observatory forum. The combination of cats, books, and old houses is certainly familiar to me, in my creaky cat- and book-occupied house in Gloucester, Mass. And being from that area, I totally agree with what you say about the Pats and Matt Cassel. I am looking at the header photograph on your home page. It's bugging me that I can't figure it out--sagebrush + rock strata in foreground seems to equal Utah, Wyoming, or Colorado. But that snowy peak just visible to the right has a vertical texture, not horizontal. Wind Rivers? I'm probably way off. I came to your blog from the Mt. Washington Observatory forum.
