9 Oct 09: Returning to Carson Pass and heading down into Hope Valley, I had expected to find that last weekend's snow had knocked the aspen leaves to the ground. Hah! I was more than surprised to find that not only were the leaves still in place, the actual color change hadn't really started in any big way.The scene shown here was from Hope Valley, typically where the local aspen color starts looking its best. It was a nice bright day with temps around 65°, so actually it felt more like early September. In some ways I was disappointed that it wasn't more autumnal, but I had a beautiful drive, returning via Luther Pass to Hwy 50. It was pretty nice to see some decent color down around the slide area near the St. Pauli Inn, so all in all, a great day.
