Oct. 5th, 2017 St. Louis and Aurora Canyons

We left the Lodge's lobby on a beautiful Fall morning.  There were 48 walkers and 2 dogs.  We left the Lobby and headed out to the West Bluff Trail. 

Welcome to the Fall Color Season


Going over the walk bridge at the West end of the Lodge property.

This photo is nice, but it was stunning in person.

Going down to the top of Aurora Canyon

Looking into the tree canopy was just stunning.

Another fall tree photo.  Trying to get the best photo.


Almost down the wooden steps near the "orange rock" 

Rocks, Roots, and pine needles.  All a danger of falling

Look real close, there is a waterfall in St. Louis Canyon

Lots of frogs on the edge of the plunge pool.  This one waited to jump.


Looking out of St. Louis Canyon from the waterfall area.

Coming out of St. Louis Canyon.  Balancing on the planks are fairly easy when there is little water.

Once we get in the canyon, it is often hard to get them moving again.  They all love to visit.

The sign post on the left was found on the side of the trail. We picked it up and took it to the Visitor Center.

At the top of Sac Canyon

A few sandstone steps into Aurora Canyon

Going back to the Lodge.  This trail is in disrepair.

The Glassinator is still today

I don't think this fella will be going on any Fall Color tours this weekend.

Fall Colors are getting there.  Love the clouds!  This tree is at the back entrance to the Lodge off of Rt. 71.  "Edna's Tree"

I will leave you with this: Count your blessings, so you can lose count of your problems.
