Fall Colors

On a cold October morning we drove up the Teanaway River valley to the trail head for Ingalls Lake, known for its golden larch trees. A few snowflakes were falling as we began hiking. We were not alone - these larches are a popular destination in the fall. They look like evergreen trees, but they lose their needles in the winter after putting on a beautiful display.

Mt. Stuart is in the background.
The sun came out later in the day, adding brilliance to the larches. It didn't do much for the temperature, though.

Colin was making the same trek that day with a group of friends, and we finally ran into them just as we were heading back down.
