This is another image I took very near my travel trailer in the Icicle Valley. What looks like a trail is actually a dry creek bed...more correctly it is a small dry irrigation canal. The water runs through the canal 6-7 months a year, then is turned off before winter sets in. But, if you came across it during the season, you would swear it was a creek. The mountain folage that grows all along its banks and its sandy bottom makes it look for all appearance like a mountain stream.
What's nice for me is that you can wander up and down the dry creek bed in autumn after the water is turned off and find some marvelous fall colors. It won't be too much longer before I can do it again this year, provided nature cooperates with some vivid colors. One never knows.
