| The route. |
 |
| The Stansbury Mountain Range just south-west of Grantsville in Tooele County. We hiked 5 miles from the base up to the North Willow Lake cirque. |
 |
| We decided to go all out on this camping trip and grow the beards. |
 |
| After about 4 miles of hiking on the road we decided to bush-wack it. |
 |
| At 4 1/2 miles the sun went down. |
 |
| Steve decided to take the hard way up. |
 |
| We had about a 1/2 mile of snow to trudge through. It ranged 1 - 3 feet deep. Maybe next year we'll get snowshoes. |
 |
| View of the Tooele Valley looking east. On the left is The Great Salt Lake. |
 |
| In the morning we found that our tent had moved about 5 feet from its original position. It was unearthly quiet during our entire stay. |
 |
| Sunrise. |
 |
| We couldn't find the lake, but my best guess was this spot. Later, with the help of Google Earth, I found that the lake was located just a few more hills over at thebase of the pines in the right of this photo. |
 |
| Steve, prepping the stove for breakfast. |
 |
| Our famous Sausage Egg McBacon breakfast, minus the bacon and English muffins. Thanks to Steve for packing it up. |
 |
| The sunrise was beautiful to watch as the colors changed on the rocks. |
 |
| Starting back down, with one last look at the beautiful mountains. |

We couldn't have asked for a better weekend to winter camp.
It was a wonderful trip that we plan to make an annual event.
