I hiked up to Lake Blanche on Friday monring for the first time and was not disappointed at all. I left the trailhead around 6:30am and was lucky enough to catch the sun rise. I hiked around the two other lakes, ate lunch and took my time coming down. I didn't get back to my car until around 3:30pm.

You lucky dog. I hiked lake blanche a few weeks ago in the rain. Even with the gray skies and lack of reflections from the wind it was still very nice... But to be honest, seeing pics of Sundial and Lake Blanche on a nice day does sting a bit. If I'm ever in the area again I'll definitely give it a re-do. Your picture quality is amazing btw.

I must have passed you on my way up. I left the trailhead at 2:30 to spend the night. It looks like you had better light than though. Nice pics!

Shoot. If you don't recognize the mug below, I was probably off the trail taking water pics.

Awesome photos!

Anyone been down around Capitol Reef/Roost/North Wash area lately that can report on current fall color status down that way? Thinking about doing a little backpack down that way this weekend. Wondering if the cottonwoods are turning much or if it's still too early.
 
ok people, I'm headed to Salida, CO from Salt Lake for a week. want to stop in, drive though, or overnight (1 night) backpack through some nice leaves on the way. SUggestions for places going off right now? i'll be headed down to 70 and across to grand junction, then can either go along highway 50 to salida or stay on 50 and cut down south through aspen, or highway 24. the possibilities are endless but the leaves aren't. I leave Wednesday. suggestions?

Glad to hear it! Be there in about two weeks. My friend from Kanab says the leaves are mostly gone there, but a friend in Springdale says mostly green in Zion.

Any other leaf info for Southern Utah below the 70 is appreciated!

Here in Carbondale (+/- 6000' about 30miles from Aspen) the cottonwoods are going off right now. The scrub oak is spectacular, some aspens still have color but it is going fast.
 
Not the most spectacular color display this year, but still a week or 2 off from peak in some areas. This is Clear Creek on the Cumberland Plateau, one of the wild and free tributaries that flow into the Obed National Wild & Scenic River in Tennessee. The whitewater and scenery never get old...

What an awesome looking place to paddle. I don't think my pungo would fare too well on those rapids.
