Autumn Paths

Doesn't this lane look inviting? 
The aspens are at their peak in the mountains north of Strawberry Reservoir. 
A photo stitch shows the big  picture.
Every turn in the trail offers another vista.
Here's a view to the south, showing Strawberry Reservoir.
Aspen leaves shower our path with gold.  In a few weeks, all of this will be covered with snow.
We pose as we pass through an "unimproved" campground (can you imagine improving on this?), just a few hundred yards from our trailer.

Gorgeous! It's such a lovely time of year. I was at Solitude yesterday and the drive up there is so pretty.

Of course I love the golden glows of the changing aspen but those views are just over the top. No improving any of this.

This is great. I never seem time it right to catch the aspen turning on the eastern slopes of the High Sierra. Someday.

You're riding through and into gold, Janie! I'll be traveling toward you tomorrow - hope I see some gold, too.

That's the best time of year. I miss fall! (Sigh, it's still summer in south Florida.)

Alex said...

love the horseriding, it's so inofensive comparing to get in a 4x4 and going through the hills

The colours are stunning! What a beautiful time of year to be out on horseback!

Pat Hatt said...

Wow what a wonderful place indeed, fall really brings out the colours.

Oh wow, absolutely breathtaking Janie. It's incredible at any time of the year but to see it in the Fall must be out of this world.

Janie, the yellow looks almost fake because it is SO yellow. Lovely....one day I hope to see this area in person too!

Each image is picture postcard perfect! And, yes, that first image does look particularly inviting! I think you should have that one printed and framed.
