Lundy Canyon, looking east

Hiking Lundy Canyon at the peak of fall colors has been on my wish list for a long time. We really got lucky: the aspen leaves were brilliant golds with accents of orange and the weather was perfect with daytime temperatures in the 70s. We also had a little help from a couple of helpful websites that track the fall colors - links at the end of the photo essay.

Beaver Dam

The hike up Lundy Canyon begins near a rather large beaver dam and pond. I would love to see these industrious creatures in action. Lundy Falls, one of the beautiful waterfalls in this canyon, is just beyond the beaver pond.
