Mount Timpanogos in Winter – Utah

Mount Timpanogos in Utah is one of my favorite mountains. It is surrounded by beautiful country and is accessible. I wanted to shoot it during the winter and had some time on a January day a few years ago. It was brutally cold and there had been a fresh snowfall but the crisp air was great for photography. I had to drive several miles through a foot and a half of snow before I got to a suitable location. Once there, I setup my tripod and enjoyed the freezing vigil until the sun arose, which is when the action began. As a note, it was so cold that my breath froze to the camera’s LCD while I looked through the camera’s viewfinder.   I also love the light along the ridge and snow drifts within the shot. Here is a closeup from the above photo:
