Coldwater Canyon Colors

I took a “scouting” trail run up Coldwater Canyon from our house – Joel wanted to know if it was worth dragging his camera gear up to take fall color shots. Looked good to me!

Just the right amount of sunlight peeking through the trees.
Ben Lomond from the Coldwater Canyon Trail.
The green veins and red colors really stand out against the green scrub oak in the background.
The maples were bursting with color.

It is not that I dislike snakes but they always appear when you are least expecting them! This one was so well camouflaged, too.
Great Basin Gopher Snake – like the one that caused my mountain bike crash last year! No rattles and no venom but I didn’t stick around anyways.
