Trip to the Jordan Valley.

With friends visiting for the weekend combined with the fact
I had not been to the Jordan Valley or Deadmans Hill in many years,
we decided to take a ride to see some fall colors.
This first stop was in the valley along the Jordan River .


A couple was there with a Black Lab fetching a stick from the river.
I was pleased that I caught the dog mid-leap in this first shot.

Here is a closer view cropped from the original.



There was not a lot of color in the trees yet and cloudy skies did not help accent the color that was there.


We did not spend a lot of time in the valley.
I hoped to come out via the Landslide road but missed that turn and ended up in Alba.
Just as well I guess; we moved on to the higher vantage point.
Here are 2 signs at the Deadmans Hill scenic view.


My childhood memory was correct about the logging accidents being the reason for the hills name.
Guess those school trips are good learning experiences.


This shows a portion of the panorama.


Here are a few closer zooms that show the color. Again, the haze and clouds really detract from the view.

The record hot temperatures and hazy skies only fool us to what can be expected soon.
Look here to see what it was like in Oct 2006.





This final shot of some sumac and the trees at the top of the hill may provide the best color shot of the bunch
