The color at Monitor Pass is falling rapidly and I’d be surprised if it lasts until next weekend. This area is prone to high winds. Shoot it this week or wait until next year. This photo was made on October 21, 2011 with a Canon 5D MkII camera using the new Canon 70-300mmL zoom set to 175mm. The exposure was 1/125 sec. at f/11 using ISO 400 and a Polarizing filter.
