I took a walk in Umtanum Canyon on this mostly sunny day. There's still quite a bit of fall color left, especially the cottonwoods, though it is definitely past its peak. I hiked up the first sidecanyon to the left as far as the aspen grove at the spring. These trees were still looking very nice. Later in the afternoon I went down to the main canyon, but only went as far as the first big aspen grove. These trees had mostly lost their leaves, but were still attractive anyway. Umtanum Canyon is always a colorful end of Oct - early Nov hike.
