The Hike
We returned to Pony Canyon, having hiked it back in May 2017. We were hoping to catch the aspen in their full fall color – we were early for the ‘show’, but found other plants showing their colors. Although we parked at a different turnout, we followed close to the same track as before.

If you haven’t explored these hiking tracks with Google Earth, I urge you to try it. With the virtual 3-dimensional presentation, achieved by panning and tilting the view, you can get a much better idea of the hikes and terrain than you can get from the screenshot above. For some ideas, check out Using Google Earth Track Files.
