My next adventure trying to get back in to the Wasatch for my health and sanity. This hike was another late starter, and I was hoping to catch nice evening light on the Pfeifferhorn if it were possible. Having never been to this gulch that late in the day it would be an experiment. What I recall in particular is how much mosquito swatting took place while trying to hold still long enough for some of these photos.

Some trailside flowers in Red Pine Canyon on the way up.

Besides adding to my growing wildflower reference photo library, made first attempts at shooting for digital stitched panoramics.
