Despite Mom's fall, we soldiered forward on our first real vacation in two years.

The Hogsback is so named because the ridge jutting into the canyon resembles the high hunched back of a wild boar.

Letchworth State Park is a popular destination to see fall color, and it did not disappoint. In fact, we couldn't see the entire park as rangers closed part of it as full in the afternoon!

First day of summer - still sweater weather

Managed to get out this morning: the spring melt is in full effect, and I've not done this in a few years. The timing is pretty specific: there's only a few days a year where this is really spectacular, and it's basically... this week.
