The Utah Mountain Nature Series: Rainbows

july2008 112

I learned something while on the mountain. A thunderstorm on a mountain top is an absolutely breathtaking thing. The clouds roll in, deep and dark and you can see every valley as it begins to recieve precipitation. The cabin has a spectacular view. I can see both Ephraim and Manti Utah from the cabin’s deck. These are two small towns seperated by seven miles of highway and a lot of cows. The clouds rolled over my left shoulder, pouring on the mountains and reaching Manti about an hour and a half later.

The really incredible thing about a storm like this is that from my perch near the summit of the mountain, I was eye level with four different rainbows. I have looked up at many rainbows, but never have I seen one from above or at the same level. It was amazing.
