Bannock range to the west, Pocatello range to the east, and the Snake River Plain to the north. To the south is the Portneuf Gap, through which the Bonneville Flood came a few years back, creating the SR Plain, the Columbia River, etc., and leaving the Great Salt Lake as a remanant of its passing.

We set a record low for the date as the high temp yesterday: 51 F. Today the high is supposed to be about 65 F. The mountainsides are washed in the scarlet of the mountain maples and the brilliant yellow of the aspen.
