Occurring for a couple of weeks every year, this huge splash of gold, covering thousands of acres in the Sierra Nevada Mountains is a magnet to nature lovers here in California and Nevada. This scene is near the road to North Lake near Bishop, California will disappear in a short time and with it the hordes of people that it attracts.

Captured in evening light, the creek and waterfall run along Hemlock Trail at North Chagrin Reservation. They’re near the north end of the trail (across from Strawberry Fields & Pond) where Hemlock ends and connects to the other trails.
From the Trail View Point (2093m altitude) I took this view looking down at the Bright Angel Trail, twisting and zigzagging as it disappears down from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. The trail descends all the way down to the Colorado River in the inner canyon (not visible above), across the river and then up onto the North Rim (seen in the far distance). The trail seen in the mid-left of shot is a different path from Havasupai Gardens which goes to Plateau Point (1050m) at the edge of the Tonto Platform.
The rocks forming the Tonto Platform were laid down between 525 and 500 million years ago in the Palaeozoic era. The Redwall cliffs, which range from 120-240m high in the Canyon form much of the path of the Bright Angel Trail's upper reaches. They began being laid down some 65 million years after the Tonto Platform's rocks. This gap in time is called and unconformity; geologists are still puzzling out exactly what happened in this interval.
The weathering of the Grand Canyon exposes nearly 40 major sedimentary rock layers which range in age from about 200 million to nearly two billion years old. Most were deposited in warm, shallow seas and near ancient, long-gone sea shores in western North America. Both marine and terrestrial sediments are represented, including fossilised sand dunes from an extinct desert. There are at least 14 known unconformities in the geologic record found in the Grand Canyon area.
Uplift of the region started about 75 million years ago during the Laramide orogeny, a mountain-building event that is largely responsible for creating the Rocky Mountains to the east. In total, the Colorado Plateau was uplifted an estimated 3,200m.
Wetter climates brought upon by ice ages starting two million years ago greatly increased excavation of the Grand Canyon, which had nearly reached its currently depth 1.2 million years ago. Volcanic activity deposited lava over the area 1.8 million to 500,000 years ago. At least 13 lava dams blocked the Colorado River, some forming lakes which were more than 600m deep.
The end of the last Ice Age and subsequent human activity has greatly reduced the ability of the Colorado River to excavate the canyon. Dams in particular have upset patterns of sediment transport and deposition. Controlled floods from Glen Canyon Dam upstream have been conducted to see if they have a restorative effect. Earthquakes and mass wasting erosive events still affect the region.

The beginning of the “Fire Wave Trail” skirts the right side of this boulder. Just beyond the horizon the trail drops into a hole where the outcrop towers overhead. In fact the trail disappears for a few moments and it becomes unclear where the trail is going as it skirts several huge boulders that appear to have fallen from overhead. Eventually, the trail emerges in a ravine behind this towering outcrop. In returning it is easy to see this tower to find your way back winding around its base.
The National Trail runs 14.5 miles along the spine of South Mountain. I've hiked different sections of this trail numerous times but never the whole thng and never this section which closely follows the road as it winds it's way toward Dobbins Lookout.

Fort Island Trail is a roadway in the Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge which stretches 9 miles from US 19 to a small beach on the coast of the Gulf, complete with a scenic nuclear power plant in view. The roadway is a terrific drive on a sunny day, as waterways lined with picturesque palm hammocks from either side of the road. It is also a launching point for several hiking trails, though I found the view one could get from the roadway was as good as one that could be had off of it.
The Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge is part of a large collection of protected land around large tracts of the Crystal River and Kings Bay waterways, one of the largest collections of spring fed waters in the world, as well as the Chassahowitzka River further south.
Little did we know when we hiked this trail, that a few days later we'd be hiking on the north side of the same ridge. Anyhow, this is kind of a weird trail. You start right in Telluride and climb a mile or so up a dusty path overlooking the town and and across at the ski lifts and gondola. But, then you turn north and wander thru some gorgeous aspen forests till you finally break out high above with far-reaching views to the south and west. It's about 8 mi RT (3000' of gain) to the basin where we topped out at 11,800' ... too tired to finish the last 300' to the pass (it can be done as a 12 mi loop). It was a great conditioner and ultimately got us well acclimated for the Blue Lakes hike that we did later.
Early morning hike along the Bradley Fork Trail, Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Stayed in the Smokemont campground the previous night, before beginning a several day trip down the Forney Creek Trail from Clingman's Dome. I've always enjoyed this trail, in all seasons. This is actually the first trail I ever hiked in Great Smoky Mountains NP (December 2011, as a route up to Peck's Corner Shelter via the AT near Charlie's Bunion).
Long star trails streak down into the Sierra Nevada mountains in this view from the White Mountains on the opposite side of the valley. A freshly risen moon provides light to this beautiful range while highway 395 streaks across the Owens Valley in the distance. Another foreground path is illuminated by perhaps an off-road vehicle. Mamiya 7 II with 43mm lens, Fuji Provia 100 and a lot of patience.
"Bell Trail Sunset:" During my last excursion along Wet Beaver Creek for some of the autumn reflection photos I have shared previously, I was treated to a lovely sunset on the way back. I love these towering red rock structures in the midground and how the last bit of sunlight accentuated the hills and valleys beyond. I had a ways to go yet to get back to the trailhead and knew I would be completing my journey in the dark, but I had to stop and take a moment to capture this scene with my camera.
This trail crossing bridge near the Donner cabin site managed to stay put after being completely submerged by the rushing high water from our rcent heavy rain storms .
A few shots exploring the far end of a trail I have used many times . a little rainy today on and off but any time in the mountains is good time indeed.Looks like the beavers have been very busy along this valley. they do an amazing job of retaining water and creating diversity a true king pin animal.

After scaling rock along the shore with crashing waves, you enter a totally different environment.
Rows of pines that go on without interruption for quite a while.

The lake is suddenly back. Waterproof boots are needed. My winter tail, on the left, also has some flooding.
The Acorn Hammock Trail is one of two multi-mile loops at Marshall Hampton Preserve in Polk County. It's a peaceful walk through woods dominated by stately old oak trees with ferns on their branches, some of the most enjoyable forest I've found in the heart of Central Florida.
