At 10,400 ft, it's a little easier to become winded but the 70ยบ temps make up for it.
I learned about the Bristlecone Pine Trees....some of which have been around long before Christ was born on the earth. I can't believe I live so close to something this old, and didn't even know about them.
We strolled along the Alpine Pond and through meadows full of incredible flowers...
The hardest part of break time? Coming home.

Absolutely breathtaking Cheryl. I showed my boss the pictures of the caves you went to a while ago. Her sister lives in St. George too & she always loves to find places to visit.
I'll be sending her to check this spot out tomorrow! And I'm going to stop myself when I finally get a vacation & can visit my family in Utah. Thanks & keep it up...we need to add to our lists of must see!:)

That is SO interesting about the bristlecone pine trees. Around since the time of Christ? Whew. What a neat thing to imagine!

I love old trees - just got back from the Redwoods. Beautiful photos from on top of the world! Love you!!
