Mount Nebo as seen from the Eastern side near Fairview, Sanpete county, Utah. Mount Nebo reaches an elevation of 11,933 feet (3,637 m).
This is the famous Nebo Loop one of the most scenic roads in Utah and beyond. During the fall and weekends the roadway is very busy, so I went on a weekday and pretty much had the place to myself.

The serpentine cross, the Brazen Serpent Monument. (Nehushtan), standing in Mount Nebo, Jordan.
Created by Italian artist Giovanni Fantoni, it imaginatively merges the life-saving bronze serpent set up by Moses into the desert (Numbers 21:4-9) and the cross upon which Jesus was crucified.

Mt Nebo - Surveying the view that Moses is said to have gazed uppon when he saw the Promised Land.
Union Pacific SD40-2 No. 3358 leads the LJI57 local through Juab, Utah on April 19, 2001. The snowy peaks of 11,929 ft. Mt. Nebo are in the background.
We saw lots of wildflowers on our hike here. These were by the pond in the previous post, and are such a striking purple color.
They are another new one to me and have no idea what they are.
HCS!

Here's a shot of some of the fall color around Utah's Mt Nebo. The skies were very stormy and it was snowing in various places. I liked this shot since you can see the different layers - the aspens, the snowy pine trees, and the menacing clouds.
Mt. Nebo Scenic Byway in Utah had wonderful fall color in the lower elevations, but the higher areas were burned in a fire a year ago.
After 40 years leading the headstrong Israelites in the desert, Moses stood on the windswept summit of Mount Nebo and viewed the Promised Land of Canaan — after having been told by God “you shall not cross over there”.
On a clear day, today’s pilgrims can see the panorama Moses viewed: The Dead Sea, the Jordan River valley, Jericho, Bethlehem and the distant hills of Jerusalem.
As Deuteronomy 34:5-6 recounts, Moses died there in the land of Moab “but no one knows his burial place to this day”. Moses did, however, eventually reach the Promised Land. He and Elijah were seen with Jesus at the latter’s Transfiguration (Luke 9:28-36).
Mount Nebo is now in western Jordan. At 820 metres high, it looks down 1220 metres on the nearby Dead Sea (which is about 400 metres below sea level).
Early Christians from Jerusalem made it a place of pilgrimage. In the 3rd or 4th century monks from Egypt built a small church on one of its peaks, Siyagha (a name meaning monastery), to commemorate the end of Moses’ life. By the end of the 4th century, an empty “tomb of Moses” was being shown to pilgrims on the mountain.
On this beautiful warm and sunny Autumn morning, I drove up to Mt. Nebo, about an hour's drive west of Brisbane. It is from this lookout, one has uninterrupted views of the Samford Valley and beyond.
this picnic area was just outside the park - HTMT!
we got a takeout lunch in town and returned here to eat
