We decided last week that we (Diana and I) were going to leave early (5:00 a.m.) and head up to Little Cottonwood Canyon just past Snowbird & Alta and look for moose. Now I've seen moose in the wild before and Diana hasen't so we were really excited about seeing some. So excited we got there about 1 hour before the sun came up so we sat in the dark and waited like two kids on Christmas morning only to be disappointed because we got underwear. (No moose.) Nothing....we saw 4 deer and that was it. No lousy moose at all. We were kind of bummed but we decided to make the most of the morning and check out Big & Little Cottonwood Canyons a little better. All and all we had a great day exploring. The lake pictures were Silver Lake. Notice I added a couple pictures of the Trooper today. (Didn't want to hurt it's feelings.) You could feel the snow in the air and looking at the snow covered peaks this morning I know now it won't be long until winter is here and I can't wait.
