Devil's Canyon - early fall colors

[alexb]

Went out to Devil's Canyon on Sunday (9/29) to see if we could find some color. All the wisdom of the internet seemed to think next weekend would be much, much better. Probably right - 2/3 of the aspen were light-green but we did see some nice yellow aspens along the way. :)

Mix of yellow and green aspens:

Overlook while driving up. The aspens in the valley are mostly green.

Fun time out. Some mud, but really puddles. No big runoff problems like what someone shared on Barbour Fork.
