i like fall. fall's my favorite.

on tuesday, a friend and i both had the day off work so we decided to brave big cottonwood canyon. i am so glad we did! it was a beautiful day! we planned to walk around silver lake near brighton ski resort, but our planned 30 minute nature walk turned into a 4-hour 1000 feet climb with beautiful scenes and good conversation. here are some of the photos i took along the way...
