I missed out on this one as I was visiting my mom for the day. Ying wanted to visit Naches Peak Loop Trail and get fall color pictures while the weather is still good as cloudy days and rain are on the way.

The trail is 3 1/2 miles long. Ying said that normally folks do it clockwise but she made the journey counter-clockwise by happenstance. She was happy she did because the weather was getting grayer as time went by and the part she hit first was the best for photos.

The highlight of the hike are these beautiful red and orange colors in the landscape.

A series of pictures looking at the trail ahead demonstrate how the scenery continues to impress through the hike.
