The hillsides above Bountiful have been especially beautiful, the past week. Matt's been coming home after driving up and down the Wasatch Front claiming (in redneck accent) that, "them mountains are a blazin'." A welcomed show that Fall indeed has not been skipped - an unmistakable patchwork of yellows, oranges, and reds. Vibrant reds! Scrub Oak and Maple. Once tired of those, Aspens with Pines! Tho a camera never represents natures' true colors, these give an idea of how gorgeous this area has turned!
A few nights ago, when Matt made it home in time to grab the car keys and a pizza, we jumped at the chance for a Fall drive. Knowing just where to head, we drove up to "The Peak." Above "The B" as the kids know it. Many turns took my breathe away. Personally, I mark these switchbacks as more impressive this season than the Alpine Loop we drove a week ago.
Jackets were optional. Roadside parking for leaf collecting was mandatory!
I think we all always count it a blessing each time we get out and about...
