Every year the high country puts on its fall colors, or color... as it's mostly yellow. East coast folks tend to complain about the West's single coloredness, saying that THEIR mountains turn so many different shades. Well, I know its "reel purty" out East, but I've been there and you have to pedal for hours to get to an opening in the trees so you can see it all. Not so out here!
Every year I get so excited to see the show, but its a short time period that the big show is playing. I'm always too early, or too late, or at Interbike. So this year I made a point not to care, not to plan a trip just to see the leaves change. That way I wouldn't be disappointed.

It seems my plan worked. Keith and I stumbled into the back country at the precise moment that the big yellow crayon got melted all over everything. It was a pretty sweet couple of days.
It would have been a lot cooler if this guy was yellow, ya know, so it better fit this blog post.
