I chose a photo of Park City, Utah because I was very intrigued with the geography and the climate when I took a trip there in February of this year. I have always enjoyed cold winter places with abundant snowfall and mountains. Park City fits these characteristics very well as it is in a mountainous part of the United States of America and it is a place of much accumulation of snowfall and cold temperatures in the majority of its winter months. Also given the high altitudes of its mountains it sustains its snow cover in the mountains very late into the spring and snow begins to accumulate again early in fall. Also the vegetation and wildlife was abundant in this part of the country and I also found it very interesting. Given all these factors I felt the photograph of Park City would make for an interesting geography presentation.
