The road through the grasslands
The trail is hiding under a blanket of late autumn
Fantastic colorful obstacles
These rocky outcroppings are so good
Great overlook down into a pine-filled Rattlesnake Canyon
Loose scree on a washed out portion of trail
The oaks are stubbornly holding on
Camp set up before the light went
Last color in a bitterly cold valley
Long look south to the foreboding Redfield area
The spires keep their distance above the junipers
Tough climb out
