A hike up Maple Canyon to see fall colors

The leaves are starting to change colors

Time to take a hike

We went up Maple Canyon East of Mapleton

Marie, Alex, Kate, Jeff, Brittany

We could see where the fire had gone as well

They have a lot of benches along the trail

and Kate took advantage of that.

There was a small spring right to the side of the trail

Family picture time

I photographed the small sunflower

and Alex picked it.

Dad was waiting for him.

 

Just one week, what a difference due to fire

Just one week after our Springville Bench Hike

 there was a fire started by target practicing.

Then there were helicopters helping to put out the fire.

Parts of the burn area.
