Uinta tree line botany and wildflowers

A fun day doing some botany in the Uintas, from around Trail Lake, to the Notch. This is my highest elevation video, and it was likely still late spring at this elevation at the time of filming, despite being the beginning of July. late upload I know but I'm working on it. Hopefully I can revisit when more flora is in bloom

Wow! The one time I went to Utah I just remember it as hot and dusty and a million degrees, but I guess I was just visiting the wrong place (or maybe at the wrong time of the year!) This is beautiful, thanks for taking us along on your walk!

Utah actually has quite a diversity of habitats! Certainly as much as any of the 4 corners states do. Thanks again for the kind words and always watching.
