At the beginning, leader Bill Massa organized the group.
sparrowood1:
We took a count...
sparrowood1:
...counted some more...
sparrowood1:
...and ended up with a count of 41!
sparrowood1:
We began along the Morrison Trail.
sparrowood1:
For such a large group, it was an amiable amble!
sparrowood1:
Checking the map.
sparrowood1:
Beneath the tall trees were tiny signs of life too.
sparrowood1:
Late afternoon sun filtered through the trees.
sparrowood1:
I love swishing through the fallen leaves on the trails.
sparrowood1:
The trail led to the road to Rimrock...
sparrowood1:
...welcoming us with cathedral-like arches.
sparrowood1:
A few leaves cling to their branches.
sparrowood1:
The rim of the rocks.
sparrowood1:
The descent to Kinzua begins...
sparrowood1:
...leading us through a crack in the rocks...
sparrowood1:
...down and down...
sparrowood1:
...the long line of nature lovers.
sparrowood1:
It almost looks like we came out of the rock.
sparrowood1:
Rock-strewn Allegheny forest scenery.
sparrowood1:
A long downhill allowed the group to stretch out.
sparrowood1:
And down we continue...
sparrowood1:
...along an old forest road...
sparrowood1:
...past the glacial deposit rocks...
sparrowood1:
...as the sun lowers in the sky.
sparrowood1:
I was struck by the contrast of dark and light.
sparrowood1:
Yellows turned to gold.
sparrowood1:
More leaves to run through, down to the end.
