Lamoille Canyon Elko County Nevada

[ottor]

Took a drive up Lamoille Canyon yesterday.. It's supposed to be about 12 miles up, but they had it blocked off due to heavy snow only about 6 miles up the canyon.. The Lamoille river is running quite heavy, and I parked off the road and took a hike through the thickets.. I heard running water and pushed my way through the reeds - found this. While I was stomping around, I chased out a couple of beautiful whitetail deer.. The Canyon was quiet, a little chilly, and absolutely peaceful..

​

This is a large valley carved out of an ancient Glacier that was over 1000 feet thick...

Well done! I have to say the second view is my favorite!

I'm liking #3, it's as if an avalanche is about to spew out through that valley any second now..
