Double Rainbow!
My favorite moment of the week has been watching the Double Rainbow video posted by Paul Vasquez. Paul is sincerely in awe at the beauty of of something he witnessed in nature. The video is good for weeks of entertainment or more and it is easy to poke a little fun at Paul’s enthusiasm.
However, if you’ve never witnessed the beauty of nature in a way that made you go double rainbow like Paul did, you need to get out of the house more often. There are beautiful things to be seen in the world, and if you can witness them in the right moment it is truly incredible.
The video reminded me a double rainbow experience that I had myself a few weeks ago on an early morning training hike in the mountains above my house.
After the bit of rain passed, the skies cleared providing spectacular views from 9,000 ft. of Mt. Ogden to the north.
Still plenty of snow at 9,400 feet in June. Beautiful cornices breaking on the ridges.
Here’s to more double rainbow moments – and to Paul Vasquez for reminding us how incredible the world really is.

That video was something else! Wow. I never knew that a double rainbow could actually be “too much.” Nice hike too. I assume you took the Great Western? I’ve always wanted to get on that.
