I snapped this a few nights ago from my back deck.
I live in the foothills of Utah’s Uinta Mountains, a unique and beautiful place. These mountains are the highest east west running mountains in the United States and harbor some of the most beautiful scenery in the world.
The Mirror Lake Highway runs from Kamas, UT to the Wyoming Border. All along it’s length are lovely little lakes and waterfalls. I spent some time up there this Labor Day with my son in a canoe on Lost Lake (don’t you just love that name?). It’s across the highway from Teapot Lake…
Should you ever decide to visit this wonderful place (and I highly recommend that you do someday!), I suggest stopping here to pick up a picnic lunch http://samaksmokehouse.com/
Your cell phone won’t work once you leave Kamas (that’s a plus for me!) and the snow falls here anywhere from October to July. It’s truly God’s country…

From your deck. Wow! Just gorgeous!
Beautiful! That really is an amazing view.
That elicited an audible “OOOOOOOOH” from me! Gorgeous!
Fabulous sunset! I like the sound of “Lost Lake” – peace and quiet! I think our mts got snow overnight (I’m in the city just now).
Oh so awesome! I would love to hang glide around those sites! (I have never done any hang-gliding before, but these views really beckon to me to try something like that out over them!)
Blessings & Aloha!
Beautiful sunset beyond the hill/mountain, and the colors are amazing.
That sunset just whispers peace. Wow. You do have some beautiful country.
That is some view! Thanks for sharing it!
I love to see sunsets over the mountains! What a great photo!!
sunset is usually lovely indeed,
awesome shot.
Peaceful, serene and, as you say, beautiful!
I’m going to have to renew my lottery ticket tomorrow ‘cuz if I win, I can start traveling our great country in a serious way! Thanks for the reminder!
Awww yes, mountains at their finest for sure. My daughter in law’s Uncle has a big ranch in Peoa and I loved visiting there. Sure isn’t the same here in the desert part of UT…I miss the mountains. Thanks for an Ultimately beautiful post:)
Vicki,
I live just a few miles from Peoa! It’s a great little place!
Thanks for stopping by….
xxoo,

This is so pretty! I love all the colors in the picture!
I agree that this is an unusually beautiful sunset. 🙂
Oh this is just breathtaking! You almost had me sold on moving out to Utah just to see this view everyday….at least until you mentioned being unable to use the cell phone 🙂 I’m joint at the hip with mine (unfortunately) and can’t even imagine life without it!
By the way, thanks for the link to Jennie’s blog. It was a good release for me after having so much built up on the inside 🙂 Other than swollen eyes today, I’m feeling pretty good 🙂
What a fantastic view, I am so impressed with Utah, on my wish list to visit some day soon! xo
What a beautiful sunset. I believe you live in a beautiful country but snow 9 months in a year? Wow, don;t know if I would like that.
Great U word
Unusually beautiful sunset… and right in your back yard. Unbelievable! 🙂
It’s beautiful! Mirror Lake Highway. Sounds wonderful! Now this is something to remember. {:-Deb
I have been up there , my mom’s family is from Kamas and Heber…so you know I love that area. I think this whole state is God’s best work, He was showing off when He made Utah! 😀
It’s so beautiful! And you took that picture from your back deck?? I’m so jealous! 🙂
As a daughter of Utah living in AZ, I can attest to your love of the Uintas. No more beautiful place on earth. Really. And the best water anywhere.
Gorgeous sunset and great bits of information should I ever find myself lost in Utah.
Beautiful sunset. You have a wonderful view from your back deck!!
PURE BLISS <3
We live in a bit of a valley, so part of my sunsets are blocked by trees. I envy your beautiful view!
That sunset is uncommonly beautiful – you live in paradise!
OKay, that is a great view. Amazing. I look out the back and all I see is the dirt that my 2 year old and his friends have thrown upon the trampoline. Love it.
Three very good reasons to visit! That sunset, the smokehouse and you RMW! 😀
It’s really very unusual !
Mountain light is simply the most beautiful ever – the air, the reflections off all the surfaces – everything…If I could pick up my house, potting shed and acreage and place it anywhere – it would be in the mountains. You certainly know you live in a magical place.
That is beautiful! Everything here in Texas is so…flat.
Glorious!! I would be out all of the time watching His Magesty! 😉
Visiting from Alphabe-Thursday!
Very nice! We also get some gorgeous sunsets and lots of snow here. Works for us. 🙂
What an unbelievably lovely capture.
This would definitely be a perfect place for a road trip!
The views (and a picnic from Samak’s sounds perfect to me!
Thanks for linking.
A+
It truly is God’s country. I have never seen anything this beautiful
Love
Maggie

What a beautiful sunset. I think I’d love to spend some time here, enjoying the wildness and the freedom.
