My Home in the Rocky Mountains


I love my home
nestled in a quiet valley
at the base of the Rocky Mountains. 
Always my grand snow- capped guardians
are there -
towering above me - 
offering me a sense of wonder and protection. 

My family spends most of our free time exploring 
the mountains near our home.  
This weekend we hiked on Loafer Mountain
then took our four-wheelers to the top of Tower Mountain.         

Hiking in the Rocky Mountains near my home in Utah.





When I see blue sky I know the summit is near.




I'm always tempted to stop before I reach the top - yet always rewarded when I don't give up until I reach the summit. 





There is majestic beauty in the grand panoramic view at the summit - and in a simple leaf on stone.



While four-wheeling on Tower Mountain I met a bear.  Good thing he seemed as scared of me as I was of him.
