We have been fortunate to have the weather and be able to get out and hike a lot this Fall. This was actually on my 35th !!! Birthday up the Jack River (that flows behind our house). There is a great canyon and the mountains were stunning with "termination dust" or snow on them. When I ask myself why we live in such a cold place with a short season of good weather, all I have to do is look back on times like this.
