This photo was taken from about a mile down Forest Service road 887 from Weeksville Divide above Todd Creek. Mount Baldy in the background is about ten miles to the northeast (line of sight).
The Western Larch have finally come into full color and are beginning to shed their needles. There is a golden “rain” falling in many parts of our forests.
I seem to be getting behind in posting photos from my hikes and so I will attempt to catch up. Someone may enjoy seeing them and otherwise they just sit there buried in IPhoto files, collecting virtual dust. These were taken from the Baldy Mountain trail in the Baldy Mountain Roadless area on October 14. Soon, the scenes along that trail will be covered with white, but the colors that now show through will be buried deep below the surface.
