We've been enjoying the amazing autumn weather -- seems like there has been an abundance of days with bright sun and temps in the 50's or 60's!We spent one recent morning at Great Falls, always a local favorite. It hasn't rained in awhile, so the water was quite clear.
Looking down on some paddlers from the top of Mather Gorge.

Bob's Birthday Annual Old Rag Hike
It's become our tradition to hike Old Rag the Friday closest to Bob's birthday. We joke that it's become a test of the aging process, and this year's hike was a piece of cake (no pun intended). We walked right up, negotiated all of the scrambling, and made the trip down without any problems. This is the first time we've been there since the upper parking lot has been permanently closed. We've always dreaded the extra walking on the road but it wasn't bad at all.
It's the day after we really aren't even that sore (we did a bike ride today to prove it!). Here is some of what we saw and did...
Typical view between the rocks
Bob going under the famous wedged rock in the natural staircase
We made it to the top!
Feels good to scramble around
This is Michel from Switzerland who is traveling the USA & Canada for year and his very cool 1991 Mercedes camper. We hiked with him for most of day - he was interesting to talk to and made the hike down fly by!
