Red Pine Lake

 Fall is in full swing up in Little Cottonwood Canyon.  Melissa Yorgenson and I had gotten together to do Red Pine Lake.  It splits off to White Pine Lake but that will be another day.

View of Salt Lake Valley as we climbed higher.

This place is gorgeous!  Seriously wish pictures could show the marvel of this beautiful earth.  Not a busy day with hikers but did run into one gentleman who took our picture. 

I'd like to backpack up here and camp...


Again, the yellows of the aspen trees were spectacular, but this picture doesn't show it much.  It was sweet seeing the contrast of the yellow leaves on the deep green pines.  It was almost magical.

  A wonderland of nature.  Imagine the deep refreshing smells of the pines and a slight musty smell of morning dew of the fallen leaves.  The sounds of the breeze whispering in the pines and quaking the remaining aspen leaves up in the naked trees.  Glorious.
