The height of Disappointment

7 10 2024

A recent color (aspen) drive brought me back to Disappointment Valley from the top.

There’s not a lot of color at the top – pictured is Gambel oak – but the views are extraordinary.

Lots (relatively) of ponderosa pines.

That butte is not Temple Butte, by the way. Temple Butte is quite a bit farther down-valley.

Sunset layers. Its own style of autumn color.

It’s so different up there than down here. 🙂 All beautiful … all dry.

As much as I love my part of Disappointment Valley, it’s always worth gaining some elevation for a big(ger) picture (literally!)! 🙂
