Our October 2017 schedule was brimming with school activities and commitments. When we realized that the first weekend of the month was open on our calendar we promptly filled-it by heading to the Eastern Sierra’s to check out the early fall colors. Specifically, we headed to Sagehen Meadow off HWY 120, east of Mono Lake. After seeing a few of my preliminary photos of the area on twitter, my students declared that the hills looked like they were covered in Cheetos dust. I quite agreed. We took some family photos and enjoyed the afternoon before heading into Mammoth for glamping at the Shilo Inn. 

​On Sunday morning we headed down to Devils Post Pile National Monument for a short 1.5 mile hike with Zephyr to see the amazing columnar basalt that was glacially carved and polished about 15,000 years ago! It was a refreshing quick trip that has our minds cleared and ready to tackle the next month of craziness!
