I ran from home up through This is the Place and to the Donner Party monument in Emigration Canyon. A stunning morning for running, cold but clear. I saw two moose (cows, no bulls) at the base of This is the Place. They were just hanging out, staring at me. I get a little nervous any time I'm within 100 feet of a moose, but this was fine. The coolest image of the morning was watching these two horses corralled at the stables at This is the Place, both with long blond manes (basically twins), running around and playing in the snow with the sunrise and mountains in the background. |
