Today I squeezed in a quick hike up to Kachina Peak, racing the rain in the forecast — and I won hands down! Mostly because the rain came quite a bit later than forecasted, but I'll take it! The weather ended up perfect: sunshine, calm air, and not a drop of rain. Even better, there was some snow! Just a light dusting near the Bavarian, but up on Kachina, there were a few inches in the shadier spots. It felt amazing to get a little taste of winter — and we’re still more than a month out from Thanksgiving! A sign of things to come, surly, right? Anyway, here are some pics!
