Just a quick trip to play around in the dust bowl. After a speedy climb up Mormon, we noticed the wall of dust peeking over the mountain tops. Hidden Valley quickly became hidden. Lightning followed. We continued on while debating when to turn around. The rattlesnake heading for higher ground should've been enough of a warning. We checked the radar and saw what was coming, so we went back, storm on our tail. We made it back to the TH before a light rain and some really close lightning arrived, dodging one more rattler on the way, just to make sure we weren't in too big of a hurry.
