| partners | | There are two sprigs of catclaw just after the defunct gate then it's catclaw free. Color greeted us soon after.
Phenomenal color up to about 2.3 mi turning away from Ash Creek into Upper Ash Creek. The oaks were about a week past. The colors heading up Upper Ash Creek are more of a Thanksgiving hue. They come back strong at the Aspen finale.
4 days ago a quadricep whack made it difficult to stand for the next two days. Yesterday I did a test hike. Much better at lifting my knee to waist level, yet 30% slower on the descent. So I turned around at the East Divide junction. That first step down clarified it was not JJ speed. Lackadaisically wandering thru Autumn color with crunchy leaves is good therapy!
The apple-deprived bears have dropped logs and scattered chutney-free piles. Light accentuating color was best in the lower canyon early on then it switched to the upper canyon heading down.
Synopsis
JJ's Disneyland jumbo-sized sweet tart hikes were phenomenal. Lemon drop hikes are cool too! JJ treated to BK Tacos. Worthy of the day trip in itself! |

Wildflowers Observation Isolated
Isolated, in the extreme sense. One flower. |
