Wasatch Mountains - Salt Lake City, Utah
Neffs Canyon
Good light conditions are rare enough when you aren't sitting
on a peak, but when you find yourself on top of a peak or
ridge when this kind of lighting occurs, you might want to
hurry to Vegas, because you might be a lucky person.
I guess there's some science to it: 1) Thick high clouds above,
2) No clouds (or very few clouds) near the western horizon
(for sunsets).
With these conditions, the clouds will reflect a warm reddish-orange
hue over the mountains below during sunset. The results are
always awe inspiring. Since I have been taking pictures, I've
only been on a peak when this happens about 3-4 times.
Coming straight up Wildcat Ridge, my legs felt like Hundred pound
noodles.
Once I peered over the canyon, It felt like a wind of energy swept
into my soul.
It probably feels a lot like a crack hit, except when you come down,
you're a better person.
