Father's Day Outing

In a last minute decision, we decided to head up into the Uintas for Father's Day. With water and sandals on we all loaded into the Rover and headed up to where temps are always a good 10 deg cooler. The Unita's have been packed with snow this past winter; more than the past few years.

In Kamas (The Gateway to the Uintas) we were told by the local gas sales clerk, "There's still a buncha snow up there." She showed us recent pictures of Mirror Lake and sure enough, the snow was still almost 7' tall!

We drove up anyway and headed to a favorite spot of mine called Provo River Falls. It wasn't under snow banks.

We hiked along side the river where the water was flowing at a good 800-1200 cfm or so and there were several kayakers there taking advantage of the white water. I took several pictures of them making runs down the falls... it was awesome.

All in all a great Father's Day trip!
