    Snowpack May 2012 vs July 2011

    These photos were taken at the same place (Black Mountain in the Elkhead Mountains).

    May 31 2012:


    July 9 2011:



    July 2011 had much more snow than May 2012!

    The snowpack is very dismal right now!

    Utah is a very special and unique place. There is no where else like it on earth. Please take care of it and keep the remaining wild areas in pristine condition. The world will be a better place if you do.

    I wonder if there has ever been back to back years in the past that have had such extremes? It has always seemed to gradually go in and out of wet and drought periods. Kinda weird.

    1993 and 1994 did, but this year is still drier.

    Could be a very scary fire year.
    We were just up in the Zirkel Wilderness where I usually am putting tracks on the hills up there. Very patchy snowfields. Snow pack is almost gone. Hiking conditions remind me of late July. Weird.
