I go for my hike most days. The only time I miss for the most part is when I spend all day in a vehicle. Last week was one of those days. I was out on the West Desert with a high adventure group. I didn't get much hiking in, but we did go rock climbing. On the way back to camp the storm that had plagued us all afternoon gave us this in compensation. The picture in NO way reflects the true grandeur of the scene spread out over the valley, but it'll give you the idea. Both rainbows were the full 180 degree classic, with their bases on the ground in the valley. The brighter one had more and more defined color bands than any I can ever remember seeing and the valley itself, along with the mountain ranges in the distance were just sharp-etched in brilliant color and relief. Really a perfect 20 minutes of Mother Nature almost outrageous in her showing-off mode.
