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.

Good news! You wouldn't want to run across an angry Mama bear.

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

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.
Zooming in, I took a closer look at the town of Morgan, where I-84 separates from East Canyon, and turns eastward toward Wyoming. Spud

Completing the panorama, my eyes followed Route 66 southward down East Canyon through Porterville, and back to the Wasatch Range.
I took a closer photograph of Porterville, before I continued my sweep to the south. Spud
