Wasatch Mountain Leaves - I: We took off yesterday to leaf peep. Our reds this year were muted because of poor rain and no good cold snap. The yellows, however, have come out strong.

We took off yesterday to leaf peep. Our reds this year were muted because of poor rain and no good cold snap. The yellows, however, have come out strong.

We drove up Big Cottonwood Canyon and over Guardsman Pass down to Midway. In Midway we had lunch at one of our favorite spots (they give our dogs water while we eat on the patio together). We then went home down Provo Canyon. All in all, a fun day.

Comments and suggestions welcome.
