I just hiked Cape Horn and the colors are very nice. Close to Town, no pass required and a decent workout make this trail a nice option. A lot of the big leaf Maple tree leafs on the ground but there should be good color for another week.

Marion Lake was spectacular last weekend, one of the best displays of fall color I've ever seen. Get out there while the getting's good!
