Walking Path
I thought I had lost these photos from my DC trip last year. Here’s a walking path between the Pioneer Farm to the Ox Pen at Mt. Vernon.
Sunset Lake and the Nipple

Aspens & Evergreens
My weekend search for fall color was deemed a success when I found these aspens & evergreens at Sunset Lake
Hope Valley Turning
Here’s a shot of Hope Valley turning colors. The runs of golden yellow are the aspens interspersed among the evergreens.
WHOA!
Got near the top of the hillside and looked back at the view. Whoa! Amazing view of Hope Valley below!
Sky Caught in Reflection
It started getting darker and I couldn’t decide if I wanted to stick around for sunset or head out. The weather was cloudy and it looked like it wasn’t going to amount to much. But then the clouds parted a bit and the sky revealed itself. I quickly adjusted the camera and caught the sky’s reflection in the lake.
Limited Visibility
The Mt. Rose trail starts out around 8800′ in elevation and climbs steadily with views over Tahoe Meadow and Lake Tahoe. Inclement weather brought cloud cover over the lake and limited the visibility. Towards the end of our hike, the weather changed from patchy clouds, to cloudy, to light snow all within a couple of hours.
Trailblazing Pup II
I love hiking with my dog. She has so much fun, you can see it in her face when she’s in the forest. Although, this day hike there wasn’t as much scenery with the low cloud cover. It didn’t stop my pup from exploring and having a great time.
Mt. Rose Trailhead
Last weekend, headed up to the Mt. Rose trailhead to hike up to Galena Falls. From the beginning of the trail you can see Lake Tahoe through the clouds and Tahoe Meadow just below in gold. The gold tones of Fall are just starting to peep in the mountains.
