| partners | | This is now an annual go-to for fall foliage for me. I got info that the colors on the rim were nearing prime so I decided to head up and check it out. A few friends showed up and we made a full camping weekend out of it. I thought Oct 1st was a little early, but it was great last year the same weekend. It was definitely a little bit early, but still a ton of beautiful color. I would guess that the next two weekends will be great too. There's still plenty of green out there waiting to turn, and the leaf litter will be better in the coming weeks.
We saw at least 30 elk including 6 or 7 huge bulls. They were everywhere and startled us a few times by running quite close while attempting to get away from us. Definitely the non-foliage highlight of the day.
We hit some of the best spots from last year, and I mapped a few new color groves that were nice to visit too. Almost every draw in here is a colorful maple wonderland. |
