Hike!
Pics from one of the last hikes of the year. Hopefully the weather gets nice again before we can't get up into the mountains to appreciate all of these beautiful colors! It was a nice 5 mile loop to the lake--very steep up hill the last mile. Downhill was hard on my knees but using the trekking poles for the first time really helped. Have you been out enjoying the Fall weather or colors? Time to get out those Fall/Winter clothes!

Gorgeous hike!! I need to get out and see the fall colors before they are covered in snow! I'm not ready for the cold temperatures...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scenery! I've definitely been enjoying the season. Autumn is my favorite time of year!
ReplyDeleteSo glad we went on that hike, today it snowed!
ReplyDelete@Margene--aww thank you! I'm getting more confident at 40 taking pictures with no makeup on. It's the hike to Dog Lake from Big Cottonwood canyon.
@Becky, too late!! Hopefully it will melt off in the next few weeks and let us get in some more hiking time. :)
@Autumn, thanks. Nature is soooo beautiful this time of year. :)
