Spring Creek Basin Mustangs

I had intended to climb the north hills this visit with my wide-angle lens to take a series of photos across the basin … but it just never happened. I do promise to do that … I just don’t make any promises about WHEN!

The basin is a fairly wide open place – until you get to the natural barriers that form some of our boundaries – west, north, east, southeast. Then we have some fairly dramatic backdrops. And you can’t beat the often-snow-capped La Sal Mountains on our northwestern horizon in Utah. And though it’s both fairly wide and fairly open, especially in the middle “bowl” of the basin, it’s cut and folded and ridged and hilled and pocketed with lots of wondrous hidey holes.

And, of course, there’s the oft-mentioned “McKenna Peak and unnamed promontory” background, always wonderful as a dramatic backdrop to highlight our wily mustangs.
