The vista from Mount Peale...

in the La Sal range in Utah is nothing less than breathtaking, especially after the lung-busting ascent to the summit (12,721 feet) across steep and loose scree slopes (click to enlarge):

This panorama is shot from west (left side) to northeast (right side) and features Mount Tukuhnikivats, the Spanish/Moab valley, Mount Mellenthin and Mount Waas to name just a few of the landmarks.

  1. Oh look! There's an Ancestral Puebloan room block at the summit! :-)


    Great view from up there, and a lovely day for your hike.
