Wasatch Mountain Hillside

This is a close-up shot of the Wasatch Front just uphill from our house in Provo, Utah. Here is a little bit more about the Wasatch Mountain Range from Wikipedia:

The Wasatch Range (/ˈwɑːsætʃ/ WAH-satch) is a mountain range in the western United States that runs about 160 miles (260 km) from the Utah-Idaho border south to central Utah. It is the western edge of the greater Rocky Mountains, and the eastern edge of the Great Basin region. The northern extension of the Wasatch Range, the Bear River Mountains, extends just into Idaho, constituting all of the Wasatch Range in that state.

In the language of the native Ute people, Wasatch means "mountain pass" or "low pass over high range." According to William Bright, the mountains were named for a Shoshoni leader who was named with the Shoshoni term wasattsi, meaning "blue heron".

This image shows what the mountains look like when they are green. Most of the time, the green part is usually brown except for the trees.
