Fall Colors Exploration

Fall is here! This means that the deciduous trees are changing. On Sunday afternoon, we headed out to see fall colors. We were only a scant 15 miles north of town, and as we looked out north, we could see the north rim of the Grand Canyon! The aspen trees had begun to shift from bright green to warm yellow, although I suspect another week would provide an even more colorful canvas.

We had not planned to do a hike, and it was getting late, so we only explored the lower part of the path up the mountain.  Our bodies have adjusted to our new environment and handled this 8,000+ altitude without any problem. I guess we are ready to hike Humphrey’s Peak soon.
