Would be interesting to see what fall colors one could find near those waterfalls
in the first picture, and all up the creek during October. Was very pleasantly surprise
by the outstanding fall colors we witnessed going Goodale Creek in November during
our search. Thanks for posting these great photos Ray.

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.
Have a safer backcountry experience by using the HST ReConn Form 2.0, named after Larry Conn, a HST member: http://reconn.org

You're welcome. Those willows & maples will hopefully be colorful in the winter. Two more pictures:
Here's one with cottonwoods or aspens in lowest section of creek near parking lot.
This second shot is my Saturday night sleeping spot under a boulder. The boulder was the only sheltered spot I found, it's in the small tributary (which was dry) to the south of main Pinyon Creek and before climbing up and to the right to get on top of the mesa.

this gully in Pinion Creek is a somewhat common, local, ski descent in BIG years! Easier to get through with snow!rcymbala wrote:
