    Northern Lights at the Snowy Range

    For the 2nd night. of high geomagnetic storm, I had enough notice that I could drive 3 1/2 hours north to Wyoming's Snowy Range. The lights weren't as strong as the previous night, but the drama at the overlook certainly was high. I had just pulled in & was setting up when I heard all this...

    Northern Lights in Chugwater #2

    That's really bizarre -- looks light daylight with the cyan and pink clouds. I would not have guessed it being an aurora shot.

    Aurora over Chapel on the Rock (edit added)

    That's a tough one. I'm working on it. The reflecting pool is an integral part of the site. If I just crop it, it;s totally out of balance with all the visual weight being the lights and not enough below to balance it. I agree that the reflection is too bright. I'll post a re-work that...

    It's clouding over pretty good here now, so I may be staying home tonight.

    Thanks, Alan. The pond is pretty much completely frozen.

    The app said 1% chance of seeing the aurora last night, but a friend forwarded shots from a friend in Denver, then added his own (he's 30-45 minutes south of me & 1000' lower), so I took off for my favorite local aurora destination @ 30 minutes away. At first, the lights were mostly NE, (to the...

    You didn't want to do a 10 mile hike instead of a 2 miler??? Always good to have a backup.

    GPS signal doesn't work well in slot canyons. Which is why I couldn't find exactly where I descended & ended up exiting slightly differently (which necessitated some major doggie assists).

    I was using OnX and Road Trip Ryan's maps & didactic. It would have been really easy for him to say "go left at the bottom of the canyon". Instead, I oriented the map to where I had parked (north). RTR didn't have enough detail on his map to show Crawford Draw (which I preferred to Upper...

    Surprised that the grasses in the foreground held still for so long.

    A quick trip last week to Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument. This was the sunrise across the road from where I camped the 1st night on the Old Sheffield Road. I thought I was headed to one slot canyon, but ended up in Big Horn Canyon instead (thanks to outdated information on the...
