The University of Utah, Avenues, and Federal Heights areas of Salt Lake City are pictured among others.
I learned after returning home from this hike that there may have been a brush fire that started soon before that time near the Weber River. It's possible that what you're seeing above may be some residual smoke from that. I'm still not entirely sure. We were concerned because there was to be an air show on the day of our hike in the same direction generally. I was relieved to confirm later that nothing of that type was involved.
The Wasatch Mountains stretch off into the distance pictured here above The University of Utah. The clouds were fascinating that evening. I was enjoying the whole process again...

From just below the top of Red Butte, The University of Utah and Salt Lake City are pictured below...
Rice-Eccles Stadium is toward the lower left, easily identified by the red stadium seating. This was the site of the opening and closing ceremonies for the 2002 Winter Olympics. Otherwise the University of Utah Football team plays there every fall.
Almost everything you see is part of Salt Lake City out to where the Great Salt Lake approaches the base of the Oquirrh Mountains there in the distance.

View from Fort Douglas, on the University of Utah campus. Salt Lake City is an amazing place, particularly if you're a flatlander who has never been to the mountains before. Gotta take advantage of the trip, even if it's just a few shots. :)
If learning is the exclusive path to God, how does one come to God when one is a shoemaker, a wagon driver, a water carrier; when one must work day and night and has little time for study?
The answer came from the Baal Shem Tov: Learning is not the only way to God. One can also approach God through a life of fervor and exaltation experienced for the sake of heaven; through prayer and joy that transcend everyday existence and transform human suffering by imbuing all of life with hope, purpose, sanctity, thereby raising earth to heaven, restoring the unity of creation, and redeeming the world.
