Mirror Lake

We stayed over an extra day since Saturday was the Great Basin Fiber Arts Fair.

After the fair we headed up the hill one more time to drive the Mirror Lake Scenic Byway. This is one of the prettiest drives in the area and follows the Upper Provo River to it's source in the High Uinta mountains.

I caught a few more small fish and we headed on to Mirror Lake.

These fish were bigger and more colorful than those in the Provo.

Tracy hiked around the perimeter of the lake while I chased the elusive trout of the high mountain lakes.

We drove on through to Evanston WY looking for wildlife. This was supposed to be the area that had the highest concentration of moose but we didn't see any. We did see some sheep herders with a major league flock.

We grabbed a bite in Evanston and headed back to SLC.

Tomorrow we head for home and it's back to work on Monday.

You need to clip off the ends of those quills and wet them with vinegar they still won't come out easy though.
