This is the view of Mount Jefferson from the southwest side. It is a popular place for hiking in the summer. This mountain range hosts the Continental Divide Trail that mostly follows the summit of these mountains.
Before it snows in the valleys around these mountain, the air has to saturate with moisture. Then after the storm passes, the valleys are usually fog filled with the higher peaks rising above the mist.
Just another wild day in Idaho.

Lovley picture on the clouds and the mountains.
Have a nice weekend!
Beautiful pictures!!
No! Not snow, yet! It's too early!
Love the mountains, though.
I'm not ready for snow yet either, but the mountains are beautiful! And as long as the snow is somewhere else I can really enjoy it! But I remember that I did enjoy it when I lived in Montana! These are great shots of the mountains!
Have a great weekend!

You hit home a lot closer to me than you would have thought with these photos. This is my Grandmother's old stomping ground and a place she really admired. Lovely shots, and thanks for reminding me of this beautiful place.
Love the frosted mountaintops. I hope you shot us a photo of the peaks rising above the mist in another post. Great wild scenery!
Beautiful pictures. We visited the Island Park area this past summer. My blog's header is a photograph from that area.
OK now I have even more places to visit once I win the lotto. Great Photo's. Just breathtaking, makes me want to sit back and enjoy... maybe I will. blessings to you and yours, Love and Light, Nina P
mountains + clouds = heaven
The mountains are do majestic from a distance. The snow covered peaks really draw me into the picture.
These mountains are gorgeous with there snow capped peaks. Try not to get buried out there and good luck with the hunt in the wilds.
Awesome shots of the snow capped mountains and the stormy clouds. So dramatic. Thanks for sharing your skywatch.

Your posts always make me want to grab a bag of cookies, a thermos of coffee and start driving east. I know in eight to ten hours I could be there. Then there is that work thing...where others expect you to show up. D'OH!
On of these days you might find a Grayquill in the backgound of one of your pictures - It could happen.
Beautiful Nature, beautiful shots.
