Summer is winding down to its final days, and as usual I already have snow and ski season on the brain. We got our first snow in Tahoe this week, and I dug into the archives to find this image of some early snow in the Eastern Sierras. Winter is coming and the mountains are calling!

The Rock Steals the Show
This night featured some pretty great light, but the real stars of the show were all of the layers in this rock pinnacle. The texture and different shades of orange really stood out against the evening sky.
Kolob Terrace Sunset
It took some scouting, scrambling and a short sprint to get here in time for sunset. It wasn’t far off the road in the Kolob Terrace area of Zion, but it also wasn’t directly accessible. When a sunset calls sometimes I have to make a run for it!
Officially Fall
Well, that’s it. Fall is here. The weather doesn’t feel like it yet, but these trees in the Eastern Sierra are on full display for the changing of the season.
The Falls With No Name
Iceland has many beautiful waterfalls, so many they apparently don’t bother to name them all! Not everything is in a name as this waterfall had some absolutely freezing but photo worthy water swirling all around it.
This Old Oak
An old oak tree, the setting sun, and a vineyard. Fall colors don’t really happen in most of Northern California, but there are still places to take advantage of the cooling weather and take some photos.
Going Green
November sometimes means watching the landscape go from green to white. Here, the rain allows what was brown to turn to green. I hiked Mount Tamalpais to get my fill of the lush foliage that grows in the canyons.
California Fall
I always say I miss the seasons here in California as we don’t get the same intensity of trees changing color as I’m used to. This time I didn’t have to go too far to find a taste of fall, a few trees in the Santa Cruz Mountains were participating in the fall season.
Carson Peak
Carson peak rises above Silver Lake with just a dusting of snow. I was lucky enough to get an early storm a few days before my trip to see the fall colors, and it made the wait for the sun to rise above the mountains worth it.
