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.

Autumn Reflections

Aspen's autumn leaves are in their glory right now.  Above, Currant Creek Reservoir reflects the surrounding mountain beauty. 
We rode the valleys above the reservoir and admired nature's fall show. 
Steve, Boss and Daisy surged ahead at times.
Then they all showed off by pretending to take a nap while Mischief and I caught up!
We found a Mormon cricket (actually a katydid), over an inch long. 
A small pond, a gift from our beaver friends, shines with reflected aspen light.
