2011-09-27 Mormon Pioneer Trail Scouting

Fall color has arrived at the Wasatch mountains. Our hiking group needs to decide which trail to hit for the spectacular fall color. So I went to scout some trails in the East Canyon area during my lunch hour. I drove to the Big Mountain Pass and turned back. The 8-mile drive was full of magnificent view of fall color. At mile marker 6 I found there was an original Mormon Pioneer trail to Afleck Park. When I drove back, I also stopped by the Mormon Pioneer trail head near Afleck Park. This stretch of the Mormon Pioneer trail was full of beautiful fall color: yellow, red and orange.
