Trip Report

Fall colors and warm weather greeted us on the beautiful drive up picturesque Hwy 242. First stop was a short hike to Proxy Falls, and then on to the Scott Lake trailhead to Tenas Lake. Bright yellow and red leaves popped against the dark basalt backdrop - a very dramatic scene. Our last stop was Dee Wright Observatory- which was a first time experience for two members. Clear blue skies allowed us to see the gorgeous vista of Mt Washington, The Sisters and more.
