Anyone have any trips planned to photograph the fall colors? My plans are a bit up in the air, but I may take the last week of Sept and first week of Oct and head to Bishop or Fishlake or Ouray. The aspens are incredible in Colorado.

Regards, Steve

Hmm... I need to make a beer run to Utah. That could be considered on the way to Colorado... :mrgreen:

I've been thinking of putting something together but don't have any solid plans or ideas. My wife and I have been talking of running the girls up to Colorado. I hate to admit it but my kids have yet to see snow. I haven't spent much time around Bishop except passing through to get to Mammoth.

A couple of photo trips that I've been wanting to do for years are Bryce/Zion and Monument Valley but with snow.

A decent photo trip would be really really good for me right now. Last one I took was to Samoa back in '07.

I have wheeled around the Bishop area and up past Bridgeport. Decided to leave this Sat or Sun and will head up to Bishop Creek--SW of Bishop. I hear the colors are starting to come out. Never spent much time west of Bishop, so study time for the maps. Much closer than Ouray. Been to Zion and Bryce a few times. The only time I hit snow was an early snowstorm and I was on my scooter. Not quite what I had in mind.

I can't make anything this coming weekend as it's my Dad's 65th. Might be able to squeeze something in early October.
