Fall Colors 2010

I took a few days off of work to get away from the hectic pace of life and reconnect with myself and nature. I took a solo road trip through the southwest and hit it perfectly to experience the fall colors and changing of the seasons. The air was crisp, cool, and had a hint of winter. It also rained a bit which added to the adventure. I brought my camera, backpacking gear, and a road map and left the rest up to spur of the moment decisions.

I retraced the path from previous trips and discovered some new places. My route took me though the hills of Las Vegas, Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon, Escalante, Hells Backbone, and Torry. For most of the trip I camped in my car with one over night backpacking trip up the Escalante River. It felt rejuvenating to spend some time alone in the wilderness and to see some spectacular fall colors.
