When I lived in San Diego I really missed days like today.

Wow looks almost unreal... like a beautiful painting.

That wasn't my view and that pic isn't from today, but it is absolutely amazing living at the base of the Uinta mountains. In the Salt Lake Valley we are fortunate to be surrounded by mountains. On one side we have the massive Uintas, on the other the Oquirrhs. They are all beautiful. I really did miss them during the five years I lived in San Diego. I know, to many, San Diego is almost perfect. But for me, I wanted to be in the presence of the mountains I had known my entire life. They exemplify the seasons. This is the only place I can easily tell North, South, East and West, because it's as easy as looking for the nearest peak. It's comforting to see them. I try not to take them for granted (or for granite, lol) and on days like today I like to take special notice. As I frequently tell my son, you only get so many of these days.
 
No pics of timpinogas?


I love living here. Not sure I could ever live anywhere else

My thoughts exactly (except that the mountains to your east are the Wasatch (not the Uintas which are beyond Kamas, etc.), and skiing yesterday was amazing! I love living here.
 
Only 37? It's ****ing 19 out here in NJ. Sucks. Of course we may get 10-24 inches of snow too but not until Friday night which means I won't even get off of school.

God hates me.

We had a couple of weeks here in SLC when it was 10-15 degrees at night, and low 20s in the day. It sucked.

I love the seasons but I'd prefer some Caribbean weather year-round. 83 and sunny with some light rain now and then year round.

I actually like cool weather. I loved Sweden's weather in the summer. Low 70s. Just wonderful. But their winters are bad. So maybe an ideal solution would be New Zealand or something. I hear it's nice.

Problem with Caribbean weather for me is the humidity. Mid-80s with high humidity is great if you're on a vacation, but I wouldn't enjoy living in that climate.

True but I'd be drunk all day long anyway and wouldn't notice.
 
I'm in a cabin way up, just outside Park City, and roads were terrible today in the area. Took me 1hr to go 3.3 miles in 4x4.

I heart Timpanogos. I must have been up AF canyon hundreds of times and every time is a new experience. A little over a year ago we went camping up there and decided to come back the following week to hike to the cave with my daughter. We planned to go the last day of the season. When we woke up it was pouring rain(really pouring hard) but we got some ponchos and went anyway. Water was running down the trail and collecting to form spectacular falls at every bend. Fog had settled into the canyon but as we hiked we eventually rose above it. The clouds above had enough of a break to allow a beam of sunshine in to ignite the crimson and gold canyon leafs above the fog. It was absolutely spiritual. Fantastic
