Voted 10/10 | risking the remote chance that 'Dean' will
chime in to give me a hard time.
(1) the Uintas have a very awesome ridge system.
(2) Mt. Beulah looks beautiful in this picture.
(3) I am jealous, but only in spirit.

Hasn't voted | It's interesting how the Beulah ridge isn't the least bit red, but ridges to its east and west are. | | Posted Aug 25, 2009 11:55 pm |
| lcarreau | Good question ... | |
Voted 10/10 | Geologically speaking, the ancestral Uintas
were "attacked" by ice age glaciers as early
as 13,000 years ago, owing to the unique
systems of ridges, basins and isolated peaks.
The "darker" colors of Beulah must mean it's
predominantly made of quartzite?
Such is the colorful palette of Nature... | | Posted Aug 26, 2009 12:31 am |
