Light in Lamoille. • • The sun breaks through a slot in the canyon to the right and above Mt. Gilbert, a glacial horn, elev 11,122, part of the Ruby Mountain chain and it spotlights a grove of yellow Aspen trees. This hanging valley canyon is Right Fork Canyon, which was carved by glaciers and is a fork of the Lamoille Canyon the wettest area in Nevada. I stop now every time I come to Elko the 12 mile road that ends in the canyon is too beautiful to pass up! • • • • #visitnevada #elko #lamoillecanyon#viaadventure #landscapelovers#moodygrams#chasinglight#getoutside #jw_snapshots #bestnatureshot#ic_landscapes#usdepa#earthfocus #ourplanetdaily #wonderful_places#discoveramerica #glacialvalley #artofvisuals #natgeolandscape #myshot #viaadventure @aaa_via

You can get a taste of the rugged cowboy life.

Elko has some amazing food, and you get plenty, no matter where you dine.

Did we mention the view of the mountains?

Seriously, imagine enjoying your morning cup of coffee, staring at those off in the distance.

If you come in the winter, those mountains are amazing to go skiing.

In the summer, take a hike so that you can have a great view of this sunset!

Day 21 quarantine view. Some introspection. 1. What are you doing differently? 2. What are you doing the same? 3. How are you growing? 4. How have you become stagnant? 5. Where have you put your energies? 6. Where have you become lethargic? See my answers below. Share yours. 1. Exercising 5 days a week, out of my comfort zone. Thanks @nordictrack 2 Getting up at the same time even though I am working from home. 3. I, not yet, will be starting a class or doing research on a point in history. 4. Too much @netflix , sorry Netflix. 5. Keeping up at work, working remotely has taken some getting used to. 6. I miss my family and seeing them, hugging them. I miss you guys! Which makes it easy to do #4 too much and not enough #3! Oh and eating…way to much eating!!! Your turn! #nevada #highdesert #northernnevada #goodday #gratefuleveryday #nevadasunset #sunset #springcreek #springcreeknevada #beautifulview #trees #quarantine #tellme #elkocounty #elko #elkocountynevada
