This year's weather is a bit extreme in the sense that we had a wet year, which pushed the wild flower to bloom at least 2-3 weeks later than usual. But recent unseasonably warm weather helped turn the leaves right after the flower's bloom. A friend of mine at church went to Silver Lake and Twin Lake on Saturday (10/1) and showed me the photo of aspen leaves turning golden there. I scouted the Mormon Pioneer trail on Tuesday (9/27) and thought the leaves should be prime on Saturday, when we planned to hike this trail. However, we had warm temperature the following 4 days and on Friday we had record warm temp of 91 degrees. We went hiking as planned on Saturday and the leaves were in deed falling fast. But still the view was beautiful. We went for one mile hike to the Affleck Park and enjoyed the beautiful surrounding at the park. Kids were having fun playing around and in the creek by the park. The view was still very spectacular.
