Ferguson Canyon in November

At the beginning of the Ferguson Canyon Trail, you can look out and see the valley. 

I liked seeing the mist on the mountains, but my brother said, "That isn't mist. It's smog." But I still liked the mist.

This is what the very beginning of the trail looks like if you start in the upper parking lot.
 

Not far up the trail, there's a water tank to pass.

It was sunny when we began, but as we went into the canyon we were shaded. Then the sun went behind the clouds for a while. It got cold. We encountered frost where it's likely the sun rarely reaches. I took a picture of the frost, but I only posted it on Instagram. I posted ten pictures of our hike there, but those ten pictures don't do it justice, so I decided to blog about the experience here too. Some of the pictures are also on Instagram, but less cropped here. 

These are more pictures I took along the trail.

Here's where we stopped. The trail goes on for another few miles, but we wanted a short hike this time. We probably only walked about a mile and a half up the canyon.

This beautiful mossy area is right next to where we stopped. It almost deserves a post all of its own. I posted a cropped version of this first picture on Instagram. I'll post one other on my private blog. Below are two other pictures. 

I was fascinated by how the round ice formed. We watched and saw little droplets fly from the waterfall onto the round ice. This sight made the whole hike worth it.

On our walk back to the trailhead, we were blessed with more, much-needed, direct sunlight. I'm really glad my youngest daughter and youngest brother joined me on this hike. This final picture was taken up near the top of where we walked in the canyon. I look forward to returning here next year when it's warmer.
