This was my view this morning during Ellie’s flute lesson on the other side of town. Mt. Ashland is on the far left and the Ashland Springs Hotel is on the far right. A little more blue sky and I think the colors of fall foliage would have been more obvious.
Mt. Ashland has a bit of snow on the top which is a bit surprising considering it has been unseasonably warm for the past four or five days.
Today’s picture was taken from the highway, window rolled down, going 65 MPH. The snow on Mt. Ashland is mostly gone now in mid-June, but there was still quite a bit when I took this on May 19. The Ashland Springs Hotel is the most visible and recognizable building. My house is among the trees beyond the hotel. A great place to live…

One of my favorite views in town is this one. I love getting to this spot on Ridge Road whether I’m on my bike or walking. Mt. Ashland is perfectly framed from this location.
I took this photograph from N Phoenix Road in Phoenix, just north of Ashland. Although the “mountain” on the right seems higher, it is actually only at an altitude of about 7,150 feet. The name is Wagner Butte and it makes for a beautiful hike in late spring.
To the left, and still covered in snow, is Mt. Ashland. The elevation of Mt. Ashland is over 7,500 feet. It appears lower from this angle simply because it is further away.
I’m still out of town so I’m borrowing another picture from the Ashland Daily Tidings.
I went for a walk yesterday on Ridge Road and took a number of photos from there which I will share with you in the coming weeks. This one is of Mt. Ashland before its first real snow of the season. Now that I think of it, this may be the first picture of Mt. Ashland I’ve posted here. I’ll have to get on the ball and make up for lost time.
