On Our Way Home, Jordanelle State Park, October 2

We left Blanding, Utah this morning, and are on our way home.  The weather was nice for travel, though there is obviously a major change in the weather taking place.  It began to get cloudy about noon, and the amount of cloud increased as we went further north.  The wind also picked up, and was quite strong, from the west, as we arrived here at Jordanelle State Park, just north of Heber City, Utah.

The view along the drive through the Wasatch Range mountains was beautiful.  The leaves were spectacular colors, all shades of yellows, reds, oranges, and the contrasting dark green of the Utah juniper and pines.  This campground is very pretty, the nicest state park we’ve been at in Utah, and has many trees the leaves of which are turning color.  I imagine that during the summer this park is full as it is very close to Salt Lake City, but now in the fall it isn’t very busy at all, not any more than one quarter full.
