In this post, I am including 12 new images after the peak of Fall Color has passed In the Wasatch, but the crowds remain, and I seek other areas to explore.
Apparently I have missed some crazy weather in San Diego, with single days of .50″ of rain and more lightning strikes than I have seen there in 25 years. Some inclement weather is coming soon to Northern Utah, and the Fall Color craze is winding down as many of the aspens are dropping leaves.
This is a new set of 12 images I have taken. I decided this morning to leave Guardsman Pass in the past – the trailheads were already full at 8 AM, on a Tuesday. Time to go find some new places. A couple of these images are from the past, and some others are from various wandering.

As always, thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy the images.
