Harvest Snow in the Bohemian Alps -- October 2020 Post

As a second post (pun loosely intended) for today, the first snow of the 2020-21 cold season blanketed the region northwest of Lincoln, locally known as the "Bohemian Alps". The peaking fall colors, combined with overcast skies and snow on recently harvested fields made for a beautiful Great Plains autumn scene. Photo taken from Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Cemetery, just north of Abie, NE, mid-October 2020.

Raggeds Wilderness -- September 2020

Since it's been several weeks since my last post, I will be doing two for this week to start to catch up for lost weeks. The first photo for this week is from the Dark Canyon/Irwin Lake/Dyke Trail loop in Gunnison National Forest along Kebler Pass. The fall foliage was spectacular along this 6 mile hike in late September 2020. 

If you do this hike, I would suggest going clockwise (starting from the horse ranch area on the north side of Gunnison CR 12), as the ~1400 foot ascent is broken into chunks, as opposed to being all at once at the beginning of the hike if done counter-clockwise. Either way, the views are incredible and well worth the workout; one of the most beautiful trails I've ever done.
