Well, the Fall foliage is already at its peak color-change in the alpine tundra! Yesterday, on my hike up to Sky Pond in Rocky Mountain National Park, I noticed that the Mountain Bog Birch leaves had turned a fiery orange and red.
I also enjoyed watching the pikas busily gathering grasses to dry in the sun and store in their underground burrows.
Believe it or not, some of the Aspen trees above 9500 feet were also beginning to turn yellow. Fall is on its way! For me, Autumn is a time when the insights and experiences we've gathered during our Summer adventures begin to glow as we contemplate their glory and ponder fresh ways of putting them into practice
