But for our day trip to Phoenix on the 20th (I did a separate post for that day), we continue to stay at home. We did go to Aspen Corner, then hiked out to the Arizona Trail and Aspen Loop on Mount Humphreys. This included passing through the Hart Prairie Meadow Restoration project.
This video shows some of the panoramic views we had looking south and west.
The signs on the Arizona Trail let you know how far it was to Mexico and Utah.
The Doney Fire north of Flagstaff on the 14th and 15th caused smoke and haze for a couple of days; this was in addition to the smoke coming from the forest fires in California. It made for interesting sunrises.
Our next door neighbors have four young boys and when relatives visited, they installed these inflatable decorations, all of which also have lights at night.
There is still a lot of color when out hiking, as the wildflowers are still hanging on.
And the fall foliage is starting to add color as well. Among the many evergreen trees, many of the bushes are turning.
Arizona covid numbers have stayed low but with the opening of schools and universities, numbers are starting to rise again. And the fall flu season should be hitting soon as well.
