Fall has arrived to the high country!
On 19 September I went with a friend to spread the ashes of her dog in Mayflower Gulch near Copper Mountain, his favorite place to get lost in the Willows. Mayflower is one of my favorite places to hike too. I have snowshoed it many times and ogled at its summer wildflowers, but I have never been in the fall. True to form, it turns out to be gorgeous then too. Below are a series of photos from the trip.

Wow - thanks for sharing this Sylvia. I have snowshoed and x-c skied this trail many times and caught it during mushroom season in the late summer but never the fall - awesome!
Absolutely jaw-dropping beauty and you have the knack for capturing it!
