Another new trail for me

I decided it was time to check out the fall colors down in the Portal area. As well known and popular as this trail is, I had never hiked it. I suppose this is because the Portal area is sort of a pita to get to, so my visits are infrequent. Overall, I found the part of the trail I hiked rather boring, though picturesque. No disappointment in the autumn show department.

Unlike Ash Creek- Galiuro, the color theme here is yellow, bronze, and rust. If you like a hike with big trees, this one is for you! Following several hours of joyful meandering, it was back out to highway 80 at Rodeo, then south to spend the night at the Gadsden Hotel in Douglas.
