Back to Five Rivers                               Order pictures

I haven't hiked this trail in too many years and was amazed with the quiet beauty... late afternoon.. parts of the forest showed the contrast of darkness and light. This is what I am showing in these pictures. VL10b and on is a revisit in the peak season this fall. I have tried to keep to the theme of dark and light but the Fall Colors--- sometimes I had to go with the picture. Comments please!
