It's that time of year again.  The best time of year.  It's fall, which means college football, jacket weather, and of course, changing leaves.  Due to the dry summer, the leaves started changing earlier than normal, so I wanted to get up to the mountains and take in the colors.  I couldn't have asked for a more perfect day.  Me and a friend drove up Big Cottonwood Canyon and took the Guardsman Pass Road over the mountain and down into Midway.  I had never taken this drive before, and I now regret waiting so long to do so.  The first picture above is from the summit along Guardsman Pass Road.  We stopped there and had a nice picnic as we took in the scenery.  The picture in the middle was taken from a lookout point in Midway (the Midway side of the mountains had A LOT more color).  The last picture was taken on the road down from the summit into Midway.  If you have never driven this road in the fall, stop what you are doing and go drive it.  You won't regret it!
