I hiked up to Bountiful Peak, elevation 9,094 feet above sea level, and sat down to enjoy the view. Sweeping the horizon from the south to the west, I surveyed the panorama from the Wasatch Mountains, to the Oquirrh Mountains, to Antelope Island in the Great Salt Lake.

Sweeping the horizon from the west to the north, I observed the distant Promontory Mountains, Ogden, and its neighboring communities, and finally, Francis Peak.

Looking beyond Francis Peak, I could observe Interstate 84 in the distance, winding its way from the town of Peterson in the north, to Morgan in the east.

Completing the panorama, my eyes followed Route 66 southward down East Canyon through Porterville, and back to the Wasatch Range.
