...a hike in early fall

We just returned from a wonderful afternoon hike on Burney's Trail near Hidden Lake Campground. The weather was beautiful and the colors are becoming more spectacular with each passing day. The trail is almost a mile long (it's been extended since the trailhead sign was put up) and ends at a knoll which provides a nice panoramic view of the area. Emily ran most of the way back so I had a difficult time trying to take pictures and keep up with her. Still, it was a great walk and a perfect...hike in early fall.
