2018 Fall Color Hunting – Part II
The high peaks have their first dusting of snow, a satisfying hunt for fall color was the hike into Lundy Canyon the second day. Large stands of yellow aspen cascade down the hillsides, sprawling splashes of color everywhere underneath a blue sky.
Lundy Canyon Trail
- Route : Out and back
- Length : 5.3 mi
- Elevation : 2050 ft
I was wondering if TT as a dog could feel what fall brought us? I know canines can see blue and yellow but pretty close to a red-green color blind, so theoretically the color he saw here could be really close to what they were in my eyes?
Almost 99% of the people we met assumed TT is a girl. People insisted saying “she” even if I answered their questions starting with a he.
We came to a vista point which you can see a river cutting through this beautiful canyon, trail goes down after, stretches all the way to the waterfall.
There were patches of frost, me and TT found ice by the water. We hiked up to the top of this waterfall and the trail turned into a green forest.
I tried to hike up even more to reach the end of this trail, but Quentin was bored and claimed that there would be nothing else to see after the waterfall. I took his suggestion happily without revealing the fact that I am pretty tired out.
We came back down to this pond right below the vista point, and found this amazing view of colors.
We finished the hike around 3pm, sun burned the sky when we were driving back south.
I sat back and watch the sky slowly turned from gold, orange to pink and than swollen by deep purple.

Stunning pictures of water - frozen and flowing, and brilliant yellow! I like the way you tell the story of your hike with maps, and with TT as the star of the show.
