Summer in the Wasatch

We took a quick trip into the Wasatch Mountains. Our last trip up the canyons had been with snow still on the ground. But now we were in the middle of the summer green and lovely weather. The mountains are surprisingly rugged given the big wall appearance of the Wasatch front along the valleys. We drove on tiny dirt roads way back into the mountains and found the area full of visitors. There were traffic jams at some of the narrow parts of the road. In the dark, trying to drive home, we got lost on the wrong road and ended up in the middle of the mountains many miles from where we needed to be. We had a long, dark drive home when we finally got turned around properly.
