A Taste of Fall

This past weekend we spent camping in the high country near Sedona Arizona. One of my goals for that trip was to capture some fall color before it was gone. Needless to say the trail delivered on the fall goodness.
We set out on the West Fork Trail around mid-morning. When the kids make the trip there is no early morning departures. 🙂 Walking through we were greeted with red, yellow, and orange explosions of color. It was truly amazing. The only downside of the trip was the amount of people on the trail. I’m pretty sure the entire population of Phoenix was on the trail with me. Those crazy photographers kept getting in my way. Can you imagine?
This is the first image I have had time to process. I hope to post the rest of them later this week.
Until next time…
Camera: Canon 40D with a Tamron 17-35mm

Just beautiful Chris, love the fall colors, that hint of lighting on the rockface is awesome as well!
Beautiful colors. A taste of fall indeed!
Great image, Chris. The Fall colors look fantastic with that cliff in the background. Nice contrast of color.
Beautiful colors Chris. Nice contrast with the rocks.
This trail and the colors were simply unbelievable. Like Chris said, the entire population of Phoenix was there that day, but you can see from this picture why that is. Highly recommend West Fork Trail in Oak Creek Canyon to anyone in AZ.
Just beautiful Chris. The colors of the leaves are unbelievable. I really like the composition as well.
Lovely! Great POV.
Awesome color Chris..Ours is gone here in VT. Like the contrast with the canyon walls in the background!
Fantastic colors Chris! I’m glad you were able to catch some of them before they faded away.
Great foliage colors and lighting! Nice one.
Very nice photo and lovely colors.

Beautiful colours and detail.
Wow Chris what a beautiful shot!
