Heading into winter

Here's an Oct. 5th view looking south down the old Yellowstone trail a day after a storm dropped snow down to about 4500 feet in Montana's Paradise Valley. In driving to higher elevations I went from the fall look in the foreground to over a foot of snow on the mountains in the distance when I turned around to avoid getting stuck.
