| no partners | | We heard that this was a good hike for fall colors. There were fall colors throughout the first quarter mile, but they are well past their peak, and most of the leaves are on the ground. Beyond the first quarter mile, there were no fall colors, other than a few solitary aspens that had shed most of their leaves already. There were a lot of pines, so the area was very green. There are some large fenced-off areas in the canyon which are protecting sensitive wetlands, with well-used trails on the west side of the fences.
We looped back a slightly different route in an attempt to see some fall colors, but there were none there either. Pleasant day, 80° in the sun, cooler in the shade, overall mediocre hike. We still had fun, because we always do. After finishing, we drove to a little spot a few miles away that always has an array of fall colors, and it didn't disappoint, although those trees were well past their peak too. |

Well past their peak. The leaves will all be on the ground and faded by next weekend. |
