Golden Hour

I love this place!
By the time we get here, my calves are on fire. It's a steep hike - we veer off to take an unpaved trail to see the mountain. I was a bit leery of bears after last Friday's experience but we only saw a coyote or fox and a marmot. Not a well used trail - the sun was about to set and the color was awesome!
Taken 21 August.

Thanks for all the lovely comments and favs that put this one on the PP. Your kindness and encouragement inspires.
