Those mountains looming behind N5296Z on the ramp at the Ogden, UT airport (left) rise to over 12,000 feet. After takeoff, air traffic control had me fly on a westerly heading and spiral upward until I had enough altitude to proceed on course.
Most of my route of flight had to be flown at 13,000 feet. On approach to Ogden, I crossed the great Salt Lake. The dry areas are mostly whitish-brown and reflect the Noon-day sunlight back in your eyes. But in spite of the uncomfortableness, it's an awesome sight.
