Civic Silhouette

Afton Civic Center

I took this picture, today, from inside the Afton Civic Center.  Silhouetted in the forground are employee's of JR Simplot's Smoky Canyon Mine.  Through the windows of the Civic Center the Salt River Range can be seen.  The Canyon is Swift Creek.

Swift Creek Mulies

Angela was helping out at the school today, so I tagged along into town with her. I left her at the school and went and did some shopping. I had some time to kill and decided to drive up swift creek. There are several hundred head of mule deer wintering near the mouth of the canyon.

I have posted a couple of the pictures I took below.

Up Swift Creek

After are soup lunch yesterday, we took a ride up Swift Creek. The road is plowed to the mouth of the canyon, which is where we parked and played in the snow for awhile.

From the Front Porch - Foggy River Bottom

I have published a couple of 'From the Front Porch' post before. We are blessed with some wonderful views out our windows!

Today was foggy all day long. It was hard to see across the street let alone across the valley. Then this evening, just before the sun was about to set, the fog burned back to the banks of the Salt River and left us to marvel at the view. We opened the blinds and enjoyed the awe of the mountains to the east as the sun slowly set in the west.

Swift Creek is at the far right of this photo. 'Star Mountain' just to the left of Swift Creek Canyon.

Swift Creek is at the far left of this photo, with Cottonwood Lake sitting between the two ridges to the right.
