First Snow in the La Sals
A thunderstorm blew through last night causing minor flash flooding in the creeks and dumping snow on the La Sals down to about the 10,500' level, maybe lower. Bring it on!

I took a ride into the La Sals last weekend and the aspens are looking very nice in some areas, though still lots of green (see attached self-portrait). The cottonwoods are just starting to show signs of autumn. I suspect they'll show some consistent color in 2-3 weeks.

I feel jipped!!! Where's the snow on the La Sal's????? :biggrin: :biggrin: Oh now I get it, you forgot your camera on the side of the road.

Seriously though, it looks like things are coming along nicely from this shot. :smile:

What CAZ, you don't find the back of my helmeted head attractive? Geez! :wink:

Sorry about not posting any photos of the snowcapped La Sals. It's been very hectic and interesting at work and I haven't had time to snap a photo. Maybe soon...
