| no partners | | It’s peak leaf peeping time below the rim and I decided to hit one of my favorites – See Canyon. I arrived at the trailhead at about 7am. There were some cars/trucks parked already, but there were still spots available and there were no cars parked along the road.
I saw a few triplogs mentioning the maples/oaks along the connected Highline Trail, so I decided to add a couple of miles up that trail as well. Very nice after about 1.5 miles in. Peak colors for sure.
After I made it back to the See Canyon Trail, I turned off on the Spring Trail and climbed up a bit and made my way to creek. I hike up that the rest of the way. I could hear the throngs of humanity along the trail as I slowly made my way up the creek.
The colors were really spectacular for sure. I hiked back down along the trail and made my way back to the creek and hiked down that the rest of the way back to the trailhead. So many people out enjoying the colors.
I wanted to get some long exposure shots along the creek and had some success. The contrast between the bright sunlight and the shaded creek made that tough. In some places, you just had to point the camera in any direction and take a picture.
I really love this trail. I am glad I was able to enjoy the fall colors this year.
The trailhead parking area was completely full and cars were parked along the narrow road in for at least ½ mile. Crazy busy. |
