Day eleven - woke up to a hard rain. The toilet had no roof, so the morning visit required sitting in the rain! I packed up and headed up the trail in a steady downpour. The wet weather created an iridescent glow on the fall colors. At 5000ft plus elevation, combined with cold weather, fall colors arrive early. Before this day is over, I'll see some brief snow flurries around Summerland at 5900ft. Right, some flowers are just getting to spread their seeds. This would be a ten mile day, gaining about 900ft elevation with on and off rain, fog and snow flurries.
