Silver Creek Falls - 10-16-2017

Post by markesc » October 16th, 2017, 10:05 pm

Yeap just cannot get enough of this place! Seems like it's prettymuch at peak color this week!

If you want fall color, I'd say now is the time to go!!

Decided to focus on the middle section today by doing the short loop to Twin falls, then back up the rim to S. Falls:

I'd say peak color is still a week away. Lower South Falls was still quite green on Saturday:

If you do the whole loop, all the maples on the Rim Trail are still green. The next two weekends should be nice.

Yeah, it's beautiful any time, but when it's peak color, it will be red.

Thank you!

Been at it since the film days when you had to go spend hours at barnes n noble and study the work of Steve Terrill, Craig Tuttle and others... Those painting and drawing courses 15 years later have finally began to make sense to me! sort of!
