Typical section of trails with the aspens in fall color.

This is the section where most people get confused and go the wrong way. It happens about 5 minutes into the trail. Go LEFT here! If you go right, you end up bushwhacking and following a faint trail that disappears.

Lily Pad Lake in early fall with the aspen in gold and the mountains just kissed with snow.

Three moose grazing in the larger pond early in the morning! Gorgeous with the yellow aspen, but the lilies were done. Only minus is beetle kill.
