Our yearly fall color hike for Deb's Birthday weekend. The 21-mile drive in from the west on the Rim Road was easily the smoothest ever. It's like a superhighway all the way to FR321. Active logging is still going on, so keep an eye out for their trucks. I passed three of them during the day, always in narrow spots. The first 1/10 mile on FR 137 is rocky and rough and not suitable for low-clearance sedans.

The colors have never disappointed on this hike, and this year was no exception. The initial descent into the draw leading to Upper Buck Springs was vibrant. We made our way down to the cabin for a short break.

On the way back, I explored some new side draws, and none of them disappointed.

I'll be back again next year.
