We live just a few minute's walk from the Wasatch Front mountains. The mountains that make up this dramatic range soar up to almost 12,000 feet above sea level. One effect of living so close to the mountains is the sun does not rise above the mountains until long after the official sunrise time. We can watch the shadow of the mountains disappear eastward as the sun progresses each day. In the middle of the Winter, at our house, the sun only makes it above the ridges for a few minutes each day. We enjoy the shade of the mountains in the summer but we also live where the snow almost never melts when it is cold.
