Christmas Meadows
Location Origin Story
The Stillwater Fork of the Bear River flows peacefully through the beautiful Christmas Meadows on a fall afternoon in the Uinta Mountains of northeastern Utah. A stunningly magical valley located 8,800 feet (2682.24 meters) high in the Uinta Wilderness area of the Wasatch National Forest, this area was once the hunting grounds and summer campsite of the First Nations Shoshone People.
The forest provided the plants and animals for hunter-gatherers; mountain streams irrigated their small crops of maize. Even today contemporary groups such as the Northwest Shoshone, Goshute, Ute, and Eastern Shoshone maintain important cultural and spiritual ties to this magical forest.

About This Photograph
This brilliantly lit forest scene was photographed in the middle of the day during the month of September while Zedekiah was flying and exploring the Uinta Mountains Wilderness and backcountry surroundings.
Image Rarity
The image was taken from a moving aircraft, as Zedekiah piloted the aircraft while simultaneously operating the camera.
It is impossible to simply walk up a trail and take the same photograph again. This image was very difficult to create, and is truly one-of-a-kind, therefore making it rare.
