Here in the Great Basin, spring is a fickle season, choosing its own timing.

Periods of sun, rain, snow, and blizzard often alternate up until April or May, and by then it is almost time for summer. Despite its brevity, spring is a remarkable time in the West.

Spring often seems like it will never arrive out here, but it always does. This is one of the really good things in life.
