We are headed back to Snowbasin for the Fall Foliage this year. We will plan to meet at 8am at the main resort. There is a sculpture of a moose just in front of the resort and we will meet there at the base of the ski area. We will plan to shoot leaves for 2.5 to 3 hours and then we will head over to Huntsville for more leaves . Huntsville has a unique downtown area where there are plenty of interesting things to photograph including breathtaking leaves. We will play around for an hour and then head over to the oldest bar in Utah(The Shooting Star Saloon). They are also really good with photographers as long as they have a heads up which I will call ahead of time . ** Must be 21 to Enter and they only take CASH** The building, which houses the Shooting Star saloon, was erected in the 1850s in Huntsville as a mercantile to serve the fledgling community. It became a saloon in 1879, and has been there ever since. This saloon even survived 14 years of Prohibition and remained open. “Back then word traveled faster than people. They knew when the authorities were coming, so they shut down before they arrived.” says current manager Julie Christensen. Times were tough back then so the husband and wife chose to operate rather than face the harsh economic realities. Occasionally, the husband would be thrown in jail while the wife would continue to operate the saloon. There have been seven owners of the Shooting Star Saloon in the past 135 years. Leslie Sutter is the current owner. Leslie had to prove to the owners she was legit enough to buy the famous saloon by working there for two years. The Shooting Star requires a good steward of the precious historic relics kept inside.
