In the high plateaus of west-central Utah late spring last year--2019 was a good water year. Even with my 4x4 I thought it prudent to retreat! It was late and I was by myself. The elevation here is about 10,200 ft/3109 m. The main pass ahead, where the road crosses, is about 11K ft/3350 m.

Of west-central Utah. The elevation at the skyline is around 11K ft/3350 m. That's why the forest, and why the snow is lingering into late June! View south off the Gooseberry-Fishlake scenic byway. I was blocked by snow a bit farther up the road (left inset), just below the pass that crosses that high ridge! This is another little-known part of Utah that isn't beset by the tourist throngs.
