What can I say, Lamoille Canyon is glacial oasis in the middle of the high desert. It,s only 30 minutes from Elko and is a must see. Sunday was hot and windy upper 90's, but it doesn't feel hot like at home, and up the canyon it was in the 80's. It's probably why my nose is so sunburnt it's bleeding. Look close at the brown picture and you can see a blue grouse. She and her babies crossed the road right in front of me. She froze and her camo blend perfect and all I could hear were the little peeps of her 2 chicks. I drove off and let her be. Driving up and down the canyon looking at natures wonders at there best and see a grouse and her chicks makes you slow down and really enjoy the small things in life. I have seen grouse before, but never chicks. I bet that golden eagle I saw the other day would have like to seen them too.
