Smoky Butte

January 17, 2010

On our way to church in Jordan this morning it was a beautiful day at the ranch...it was 36 degrees! That has got to be a beautiful day! When we topped the hill on the way to the highway Cowboy said, "Look at Smoky Butte." I was looking that way and marveling at the site.

All we could see was the very tip. We backed up the hill to take this picture. Bill said he had only seen that one or two times in his lifetime. He said that it is quite a large hill as he has been at the base of it, but it is sitting in a "hole" or low area. It is one of the higher "hills" in this area. There was a little weather front hanging in there.


Here is another picture a little closer to town. They told us there was quite a fog in Jordan for awhile this morning and this must be some of the aftermath.


Here it is on the way home, back to normal! Our snow is melting!! But it is icy around the house and out buildings!

  1. What a picture! I am so glad you posted this, and to be sure Mom will enjoy seeing it. Smokey looks kind of like some of the mountains down around Alpine. The only reason I don't put mountains in quotation marks is because the elevation downtown Alpine is over 4000ft. Thanks for takin time to shoot.
