First of the season

Autumn colors in the valley and snow up high, the transition is almost complete.

Only a picture can describe this – no words could do justice to this beauty. Mountains serene and majestic – guarding a secret almost.

That light is quite intriguing. Almost like an odd aurora borealis. Beautiful!

  THe light was strange that day, just peaking through the clouds in a focused enough way to illuminate the incredible colors on the mountain peaks. I have driven by there since and the peaks, while gorgeous, never were quite the same.
