Fall Color on the Nebo Loop

Here are some pictures I took up on the Nebo Loop, south of Payson, Utah. Elevation, according to signs posted on the roadside, was about 9,000 ft.




This view is looking west down Santaquin Canyon, with the southern tip of Utah Lake visible.



This is a panorama shot made from several shots and stitched together to form a panorama. It's looking west down Santaquin Canyon from the Nebo Loop Road, south of Payson.
The aspens are at the peak of their color right now. The maples, in the lower canyons, are probably a little past peak color.

Nice pictures. I sure do miss all of those beautiful fall colors, so thanks for sharing! Get those boys out in the leaves and take some pictures, jodi hasn't kept me updated on them!!

These pictures are of the aspens up in the mountains. The colors are only just starting to turn in the valleys.

Incidentally, thanks for sharing your pictures and your thoughts. I really enjoy your blog, Cindy.

I really enjoy blogs. So both of you keep posting and post more often. Blogging and reading blogs along with watching CNN, CNBC, and MSNBC have become my new obsessions or compulsions, whichever. . . probably both.

I do love the pics! I knew Cindy was going to really appreciate them when she saw them. Todd downloaded the 5th one and put it as our background. I think it is a cool conspicuous view of Utah Lake.

I have an idea. [In light of the doom and gloom theory (the financial Armageddon)] let's buy 25 acres right where you took that picture and start a self supporting colony. LOL

Love you guys,
Noelle

Oh and btw, What were you guys doing up so early? I just noticed the time stamp on your comments.

THanks dad!

Umm, about the self supporting colony, these pictures were taken at an elevation of 9,000 feet above sea level. Winter comes early and stays late, so probably not an ideal location. Sorry.

Sorry, CK, no spare camera available. Gotta love those camera phones, though. Incidentally, you're not the only one to not get a camera from me. I still love you, though.
