Today, we took a drive from West Yellowstone past Hebgen and Quake Lakes. Then we traversed dirt roads to Wade and Cliff Lakes and ended up in Idaho by Henry's Lake. We shared this wonderful, cool, fall day with friends Terry and Doug (and Chico too). The fall colors were more impressive than we thought they would be, blue sky, gray mountains, green pines, yellow aspens (some were orange), and the ground cover in the forest was multi colored. There was also a fresh blanket of snow on the mountains which added to the awesome scene. Truly a spectacular day.
Beauty around every turn.
Color was everywhere.
Clouds rolling over the mountains.

Picnic lunch stop at Wade Lake.
The colors of the water in Cliff Lake were amazing. The water was so clear you could see the bottom.
On our way back to the paved road from Cliff Lake. A sample of the 360 degree view.
Wow, what a place to live.
A perfect fall day in the mountains.
