Views from a six passenger single propeller plane.
Wasatch Mountains, Salt Lake City, Provo, Utah
It was a perfect day for a plane ride, the leaves were bright
reds and yellows, and the sun made them even brighter as it
set.
My Brazilian friend, Raphael Gomez flew the plane with a little
guidance by the plane's owner, George.
I took about 280 pictures. There were so many good informative
pictures that I had to break this session up into different
groups.

The entire route to the top is visible,

Hi, I really enjoy your site. For some time now I've been looking for a good quality photo of Mt. Olympus and Twin Peaks that I can use as a reference for a piece of art. Do you happen to have anything with these peaks as seen from the Salt Lake valley? The preferred vantage point would be from Murray or Holladay. Thanks for the site and I look forward to your reply.
Steve
