We've never headed south early enough to see fall colors through the northwest and travel through Las Vegas and to Phoenix in warmth!
.
.
Temperatures in the 70's to 80's. Very nice. Flowers in bloom.
.

And finally we arrived and had a great time sitting out in a clear warm night watching stars and enjoying the campfire at Usery Mountain Park.

What a new experience: to head south for the winter in nice weather.
Not the usual endless rain down the coastline avoiding the snowy passes.
Good traveling weather! Will have to remember this for future years.
