I’m surprised your finding so many fall colors this year after the rather dry summer. Nice photo.

Despite the extreme heat this year and the drought, the cooler temperatures at altitudes above about 5500 feet in the heavily forested watershed have kept the high country in pretty good condition.

I’ve heard of having a hole in one’s head, but a big hole in a trail head — now that’s something else! The colors are glorious, and it certainly is inviting. The kind of weather you’ve been describing would making hiking pure pleasure, and this looks like it would be a good one.

From the peak and where the look out is situated the topography drops abruptly over 500 feet into a canyon that is the head of a small creek that has high ridges all around, hence the name. It was a pretty hike.

There is something very special about the larch when they are in color.

The mild temperature was perfect for a Fall hike, but I also love to feel the cold winds of winter along the trail sometimes.

Magnificent colours! Larches are so beautiful when they turn colour – like tongues of flame.

Some are still turning color, others are completely golden and others have already shed their needles. They have a huge impact on the forest.

They seem to be especially pretty this year, perhaps because they follow a long, very hot summer.

We just completed three hikes in three days and never did encounter another person on the trails of the trail heads. Just the way I like it!

Another gorgeous shot. Autumn is such a visually beautiful and distinct season in your part of the world, Terry. We have hot summers and cool to warm winters here in Brisbane. I have a Chinese Elm in my yard though which gives me a taste of a northern hemisphere autumn as it rains down golden leaves.

It is interesting to see what Autumn is like in different places. Out forests here have few broad leaved trees, so Fall color is mostly from the Larches and low growing brush, but in the towns there are a lot of imported maples, oaks, etc. and they have a beautiful variety of colors.
