Fall colors along Naches Loop
Today was a perfect day for Naches loop. The fall colors are at their peak. It snowed overnight so the trees were covered in fresh snow, and there was some snow on the trail. Even though the temperature was in 40s, the snow didn't melt. The trail was in great condition, though there were many social trails that got me confused at first. Just follow the widest, best maintained trail you can see; don't follow skinny little trails. I couldn't see Rainier from Naches loop but while driving to the trailhead from the west I could see the Mountain all covered in fresh snow.
It was a wonderful day with fresh snow and amazing fall colors!
There are still some blueberries left but you have to dig for them in the snow...
