This abandoned stone farm house was built in the mid 1800's in the town of Alpine Utah which is located in far northern Utah county. The owners planted red poppies which have spread in the area around the home. They bloom in June when the grasses are green before the dry period of late summer. The bright red blossoms contrast with the surrounding grasses and sage brush to provide many attractive photo opportunities.
This view is looking to the northwest. The second image is looking directly to the north at Lone Peak which forms the border between Utah and Salt Lake Counties. In June there is still a lot of snow on the mountain peaks.
The city of Alpine owns this property and maintains it as a hiking area which will not be developed.
