A Sneak Peek

With storms forecast later in the week, Dee and Joe and I decided it was a beautiful, cool morning to take the LaSal Pass.  We could tell the south-west peaks were not so colorful from Moab, but the north-east side, however, piqued our interest so off we went to take a peek. 

















Rose hips had taken the place of wild rose flowers.



 Not a lot of color here...but the cool breeze was nice.

Aspens teased with hints of yellow.

















The Manti and LaSal Forests were combined in 1949. Today it covers 1.4 million acres.  These forests have beckoned people for hundreds of thousands of years. 

 

As far as colors go, a tease is all we got.  What we did enjoy was a peaceful retreat, solitude, and quiet.  

The relaxing sound of aspens clapping,

 shadows dancing, 

and beautiful landscapes is always calling.

Until next time, 

 HAPPY TRAILS!  

Leaf Peeping

At the last Moab Friends For Wheelin club meeting, Misty added the LaSal Loop color run to the calendar. Yippee! Last Sunday was the day. We already knew from the news that the leaf color would not be as vibrant as last year due to lots of spring rains that caused leaf mold. But that did not stop us. Along with Misty, David and their sweet pup Wheeler, Mike and Caroline, us, Ber and Charlotte, Rick, Dee, John and Nancy, and Mike and Joanne all came along for the colors and camaraderie. 

Monday it rained all day in Moab. What a nice surprise to wake up Tuesday to snow capped peaks on the LaSals.

Let the good times roll...

HAPPY TRAILS!
