Mount Timpanogos fills the horizon above the glacier-carved bowl of Mineral Basin. Located on the backside of Snowbird Resort, Mineral Basin was sculpted by glaciers flowing off Twin Peaks, the third highest mountain in the Wasatch Range east of Salt Lake City. These high alpine cirques are buried beneath, on average, 500 inches of snow every year providing some of the best ski conditions in the world and supplying drinking water for both the Salt Lake Valley and Utah valleys. These alpine basins were filled to the brim with huge glaciers at the height of the Pleistocenes last glacier maximum around 20,000 years ago. This panoramic photograph was captured with a Fuji GX 617 panorama camera. All photos in these galleries may be ordered as fine art framed prints or for stock photography usage.
