Bear Lake and Uinta mountains <pics and video>

I had the day off so I went with my parents on a little road trip. We took all the dogs and drove to Bear Lake then back through the Uinta mountains. I had never been to Bear Lake before and hadn't been to the Uintas in years so it was a really nice day. :) I hope you enjoy the pictures, I know there's many but I narrowed them down from a couple hundred. :o

There was still quite a bit of snow along the road...Nebo was happy to see snow again and kept trying to eat it. :rolleyes:

That's all! I will also attach a video....it's of Nebo playing in Bear Lake :)

WOW! What gorgeous pictures. That place is beautiful. I love the second action shot of Bebo. Hehe, Syd's ears flapping in the wind is so cute! The one of all three is great, too.

Did Reggie ride on the floor of the car the whole time? That's so cute.

I wish Delta didn't have such restrictions on their flights because Ki would love that place. How far is it from you?

These definetly cheered me up, thank you very much.

Yeah he did ride on the floor almost the whole time.........not sure if it's because he preferred it or because he couldn't fit on the seat with the other two!

I wish Ki could come here in the summer too! :) Bear Lake is at least 3 hrs away, Uintas at least an hour.

GORGEOUS pictures!!

What beautiful places you go! :) And of course, the pups are precious too!

Fantastic pictures, Amy! I loved each and every one of them. LOL...Brandon's girlfriend came in just now and wanted to know when we took Tori on a trip like that and why they didn't get to go too...lol. I scrolled through the pics kind of fast and asked if she thought I got some good pics of Tori before I told her it wasn't my little girl;). She thought they looked just alike at first!

Love the pics! Looks like a wonderful place to take the pups.

Hugs...Robin :)

What beautiful photos, the scenery is awesome! It's images like that that always end up filling my heart to the point of bursting. Sorry, I'm a dork, nature knocks my socks off. ;) Your pups do a good job of sneaking into my heart, too. :)

lovely pictures! I especially like the ones with Nebo running in the water.

Wow, beautiful pics :) How do you keep nebo sooo white?!

Beautiful pictures, of both the scenery and your cute pups! :D

Amy, you have got to live in one of the most beautiful places on earth! Those rocks were so neat. My favorite place would have to be the waterfall, though. Then, to put Nebo in with that beautiful scenery, that makes it even more beautiful. He looks so happy in that video. Glad you had a good time.

Every time I read one of your posts with pictures, it's like taking a mini-vacation! Sooooo beautiful out there!!! And Nebo is SUCH a star! He is truely gorgeous husky boy! The schnauzers are so cute, too - the sleepy pup one with Syd curled up under Nebo's head is precious! i liked the video too - Nebo looks so happy jumping around. Thanks for sharing all the pictures with us.

What gorgoues pictures!!! Looks like a fun day for all!

Someday I would love to pack up the pups and drive West...visit Ralph's brother in Oregon, my family in Arizona, and and of course PTers along the way. I think I'd need at least a week in Utah!!

of course breath taking photos Amy!

They are all adorable!
Nebo cracked me up in the video pulling you!
:)

The picture of the pups sleeping was adorable. It brought tears to my eyes and warmed my heart. So precious. Looks like y'all had a great time!!!

Thanks everyone, I'm glad you enjoyed the photos! :)

He gets a bath about once a month........he's due for one right now. He just seems to stay clean though, dirt just wipes off him. Plus that tag holder has helped a lot with the tag stains on his neck.

Wow, those are wonderful pictures. That is a beautiful place and of course beautiful dogs.

Looks like everyone had a nice time.

nice pictures.
looks like they had a lot of fun!

Wow! Utah really is beautiful. So are the fur kids.;) It looks like you all had a great time.

Fantastic piccies and vid! What really interested me is that all you dogs are on leads. Currently having a running battle with hubby who insists that Tobey would have more fun if he was let off his lead - my view is that he is having a great time as it is and is not reliable or trained enough to come back when called....your opinions would be much appreciated

I'm almost speechless! As I was scolling through the pics, I kept thinking, ooooh! That's my favorite, then I'd come accross another and say, "no that's my favorite," and on and on....

Beautiful country, even more beautiful doggies.

Beautiful pictures. I really love them all. :D The first one is so cute, and the ones at Mirror Lake are beautiful, and the sleeping pups is so cute. Ooh, like I said, I love them all. Beautiful scenery and dogs.

What gorgeous scenery!! :D

NEbo is such a beauitful dog

and the other's ones are cutie pies too

What great pics! :) Nebo is gorgeous :) and Reggie and Sydney are adorable :)

I LOVE this picture:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...bearlake00.jpg

What alert dogs with big grins! There MUSTA been food involved!!!!!!

The rest of the pictures are beautiful as well, such pretty scenery, and of course beautiful doggies to pose in front of the scenery!

(Reminds me, Gina's Ark is somewhere in Utah right now for three weeks, and she promised to take a ton of pictures, too! (Bryce Canyon - dunno where that is in relation to you, or Bear Mountain).

Not only is Nebo just as handsome as can be, but he sits so nicely for his pictures - he's a well-trained Pet Talk dog!

what a beautiful place to visit. All of your pictures were so fabulous!

Those are beautiful pics. The scenery is gorgeous and add the dogs and wow...awesome. :)

I love every single one of these photos!!! The beach is beautiful and the waterfalls...oh man, I'm moving!!! That is just the type of place I'd love to live (other than the snow still on the ground :o )

I would have to frame the photos of Nebo in front of the waterfalls...they're just gorgeous!

Amy, where did you get a tag holder from? I'd love to use one on Sherman - his neck always looks dirty, but it's from the aluminum tags.

Well I coulda swore that I posted to this thread Amy, but I guess it was all in my mind:o

The pictures of course are fabulous as always, but this one really makes me laugh!

I love Syd's ears...toooooo cute:D

And Mark and I both loved the one of Nebo sleeping on Syd, a familiar site;)

Thanks for sharing those, looks like everyone had a great time!

I was thinking this very same thing as I looked through your photos. Simply breathtaking! I would love to see some of the places that you visit. As always, the pups look very happy. Thanks for sharing this mini-vacation with us! :D

**hugs**

Well there's no other word for these photos, yet again, than stunning! Nebo is as beautiful to look at as the scenery, put them together and you have post card material! I really like this one in particular for some reason:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...bearlake05.jpg

Looks too much fun!
That may be our next outing. So, dogs ok on a leash right???

Amazing pictures, the scenary is just gorgeous!

Mirror Lake is just stunning! I love bodies of fresh water for some reason....perhaps because I'm surrounded by ocean. ;)
I also loved Syd's silly ears in the pic Anna posted. Your doggies have such fun hikes and adventures! Lucky poochies. :)
Thanks for sharing these fantastic pics from your road trip with us! :D

Thanks everyone for your comments! :)

Nebo is a siberian husky and it's well-known they are very hard to train off lead. I'm sure he would love running free but there's the risk of him never coming back, getting hit by a car, etc. So rather than risk that he's always on a leash unless in a fenced area. He has plenty of fun with a leash on....usually in places like this I put the retractable leash on him which allows a lot more freedom. I definitely think you should keep Tobey on leash unless he is 100% reliable to return when called, and even then only in areas where there's not many people/cars/etc.

Oh yes we were eating lunch there was food involved. ;) I'm actually going to go down to Southern Utah at the end of July, probably going to Bryce Canyon too. I think it's about 5 hours away from me.

I found mine at Strut Your Mutt but they sell them online too, here's a link that has them (called Quiet Spot tag silencer) http://www.sitstay.com/store/equip/collars1.shtml#EQ10

Have fun! Take some pictures. :) As far as I know that is the rule, I didn't see any signs about dogs...there were some labs off-leash at Bear Lake and nobody seemed to care.
