Beautiful leaves

Last Sunday we went for a beautiful drive through the Alpine Loop. We started up Provo Canyon and came out American Fork Canyon. The weather was absolutely perfect. We tried to get some pictures of the reds and oranges that are all over Sundace but the traffic was so tight. It seemed everyone else had the same idea we did. We were all trying to soak up these last few warm days of late October.When we got over to the American Fork side, we pulled over and had some lunch. Jack begged Jason to take him on a little hike and the girls and I went on a few little trails we found. It is just beautiful up there. It reminds me so much of New York. It is thick, with trees everywhere and bright, changing colors. The only thing missing was the smell.You can not see these little trails from the road, but once you pull off and start walking, they take you to these remote picnic spots. They are surrounded by big boulders and a few of them had stone stairs to take you up to the table.

I tried to capture the reds that blanket the mountains in South Utah County, but the picture just doesn't do justice. Later that evening I was talking to Evan and it just so happened that he was driving the same Loop with a friend. Unfortunately, we missed eachother.

Surprisingly, we didn't see any British cars. Last year, we spotted one TR6 with the top down struggling to get up those hills. We later saw it by the side of the road. This drive always reminds me of you, Mom. One of these Fall days, we will get to drive it together.
