Brian Head Peak, Utah

Valerie went to Ouray, Colorado for Plein Air Southwest sponsored by the Outdoor Painter's Society (http://www.pleinairsouthwest.com/). The rest of us stayed in Utah and decided to see if we could get some good pictures of the Horse Valley Fire (http://www.utahfireinfo.gov/fire/dixie_nf/horse_valley.htm). So we went up to Brian Head Peak, but didn't have any luck. There was plenty of low hanging smoke, but with the exception of the occaisonal white puff, no well established plume. It didn't help that it was before lunch. The biggest columns, the ones visible from Parowan each day, have occurred late in the afternoon after the high temperatures and winds have had a chance to work. So we went over to Sidney Valley and walked along the creek.
