Tom's Pebbles Near Run #34

This was sent to me from Tom's dear friends Trey and Erin.

Hi Theresa,
On Sunday, we hiked up to Albion Basin up Little Cottonwood Canyon. It's funny that in the summer it's this gorgeous alpine basin covered in wildflowers, but in winter it becomes Alta ski resort. It was nice to go up there and remember the times we both spent with Tom on the slopes. We hiked up to Cecret Lake looking for the perfect place to put Tom's ashes, and finally decided on this rocky outcropping in the middle of a meadow, about halfway up the trail. To the west you see the bald peaks that make up Devil's Castle (still snowy, even in mid-July), and to the east you can see the the Supreme chairlift.

Here's a map: http://www.alta.com/Newsite/images/trailmaps/trailmap_large.jpg

We put Tom somewhere near the end of run #34. We've attached the photo of Tom next to the ashes, and also a shot to show you the big rock he's on top of. We hope he's happy there. We know he always loved being up in the mountains and skiing. He barreled down those slopes with unmatched exuberance.


Much love,
Trey and Erin
