With a heavy dose of evergreen conifer here in the Salmon River Mountains of Idaho, the fiery patches of brush in autumn offer up some of the classic colors we search for this time of year. This is at Deep lake, 15 miles by car from McCall, Idaho.
The hike into this serene spot, is just over 2 miles, and just under 1000 feet of elevation gain from the trail head.
