Beyond Red Creek to the Heath Barrens ...
Looking across the Red Creek to Alder Run Trail which was impassable without getting quite wet due to high water levels in the Red Creek. While many of the colors were faded, there was still some nice color in the heath, it's bright red color emblematic of the Dolly Sods in the highest locations along the Allegheny Front.
Taken on Friday October 27, 2023 at Dolly Sods Wilderness.
