Last day of March was 80F, which means Spring is officially here, right? Wrong. Mother Nature brought snow on April 1st.
I hiked the "zigzag trail" above Centerville to continue my training for summer hiking and to see what the Mahogany trees looked like in snow. It was worth the effort.
Looking south over Bountiful, you can clearly see the snow line, and also the trees and some lawns turning green, thinking it was spring.
The Mahogany grove on "The Saddle", looking E-SE
From the summit, looking west past Mahogany and Scrub Oak to Antelope Island

The sun finally broke out over Antelope Island while snow squalls stayed over the Wasatch
From the top, looking north you can easily see the main runway at Hill AFB. Notice how the rubber marks (from tires making contact at landing) is concentrated on the north end of the runway - planes rarely land at HAFB coming from the south.
I waited & waited for the sun to come out & give some stunning light to the landscape; it never did, but there were a few decent shots anyway.
