Snow in August???
Since I have an 11-year old boy I got to go on this little overnighter with him and a few other dads to Trial Lake (Uinta Mountains). The elevation is about 9,800 feet, which means you're closer to heaven so it's VERY pretty. I have never camped anywhere that I love more than the Uinta Mountains. We arrived in camp around 7 PM and it promptly started raining. It rained through dinner and most of the night. Good thing for my little waterproof tent! We awoke to a cloudy and threatening sky but were able to eat breakfast and get some "scouty" things done before the heavens opened up again. It started with tiny little hail pellets and ended with an outright BLIZZARD. We fished for as long as our fingers could stand it, then we loaded up and came home. The thermometer read 33 degrees as we were pulling away from the lake. At one point we could only see about 100 feet across the lake....the other shore was lost in whiteness.

Oh manno-manno--I thought from the title that you were going to say that you saw snow on the mountain last week--but no, it actually snowed! Crazycrazy! Quite different from that last week at St Georgio, eh? We just returned yesterday from there. We love to go in the summer, too. We hiked in Zion this year as has been our tradition for about 15 years.
One of our favorite family memories is getting caught in a blizzard in the Tetons in July (Tram Ride). These kids will never forget this trip!
That is an experience to remember. And to remember the pants next time! Haa haa. How's Bryce liking NPA? It's been fun to see you guys there.
