I have been planning on getting back into the mountains all week, and this was the perfect opportunity to burn off some Thanksgiving calories on a fantastic day. Climbed Upper Bells (Bighorn) peak from Alpine, and had an incredible day. The peak climbs over 5K ft in 5 miles, and it is a great workout. The weather was really good all day, but the last 6-800 feet were cold and windy, and when we got to the top it was just COLD! The wind was strong, and it was bitter up there. I took my glove off to snap a few pictures and my hand went numb in about a minute. We didn't stay long. The views of the Wasatch were fantastic. We could see into Salt Lake, and Utah counties, and most of the major Wasatch peaks. What a view. It was a lot more fun than fighting crowds at Wal Mart :) Hope everyone had a good holiday. |
