Although the basin was relatively dry with sunny areas with brown dry grasses and smaller streams dry, there were nice areas in north facing slopes with still green grasses, turning red arctic willow, and a few holdover wildflowers.

Yo WW, now that you mention it, the idea of visiting your area of the woods late October is a nice notion? I've got quite a bit of PTO to burn else I'm going lose days so plan to take a few days in early October about Eastern Sierra aspen and after that will be up for some dogwood with sequoias. Really need to visit that area short notice when a certain type of weather is pushing clouds up against the top of that ridge for good diffuse light. Lets work on this.
