Climate change's effects are showing up more and more as carbon dioxide and other harmful gasses continue to be pumped into the atmosphere. One dangerous outcome of this global warming is extreme flooding. Here is a link to a Union of Concerned Scientists article about this flooding and climate change in general.

Mom, Alex, and I set off on the trail up Moriah in full daylight. It was flat for a while, but then it started to go up moderately.
It was a cool October day, but we delayered quickly, as we were hot from the hard exercise.
The sunlight mixed with the beautiful fall leaves, which were in peak foliage, created memorable, gorgeous scenes whenever we looked up.
Mom took the lead as we headed up...
This leaf caught my attention. The water droplets were beautiful.
Here are some pictures of fall foliage we saw on the trail. These are just a few examples, however; there were many more.
We passed Mt. Surprise and continued up Mt. Moriah...
We eventually made it to Mt. Moriah to a cloudy sky with no views; however, there was a nice breeze that cooled us down.

After a short break, we headed back down.
Mom going down the ledges...
After a moderate decent, we made it to the flat part of the trail. Breezing down to the parking lot, we took note of the colorful leaves that were all over the path.
Alex and I took out our school work in the car with new focus, as the physical exercise and nature had refreshed us and given us a good break. The trek had been filled with good company and beautiful fall colors.
