11-9-2017 Hennepin, Hidden, Owl Canyons

Best view today


I am going to start by saying what a beautiful day it was today.  Fall Colors are at their peak.  I know it is more than a little late.  I hiked yesterday to Lover's Leap, Eagle's Cliff and the top of Starved Rock.  I will also include those photos here.

Walking down to the main trail from Hennepin Parking lot

What a nice group of hikers out today. They are as colorful as the leaves were today.

Upper Hennepin Canyon.  Bridge is Rt. 71

Many on the Hennepin Canyon footbridge

Hoping to find some antlers here with all the deer rub.

A few bent trees


Going back up this path to the parking lot.

This inspirational sign is in the Cafe.  Most times many of the walkers congregate here after the hike to visit a while over a cup of hot coffee or hot chocolate.

I will leave you with this: The tragedy of life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal, the tragedy lies in having no goal to reach.
