The Eastern side of the Park is mostly conifers, but the rock cuts at Brewer's Lake mark the beginning of the hardwood forest and the show.
There are too many scenes to capture. This is designed to be just a taste of the spectacle.
Stop in pull-off areas to see the quiet beauty of small lakes and marshes.

The Canoe Lake turn-off is just ahead in the valley.
The view of Smoke Lake from the Hardwood lookout is hard to beat.
Ragged Falls is also beautiful at this time of year.

Above the dam, two otters were out for a tour.
There is beauty even in the darkest places.

The Loons hide away to moult, but it's all in preparation for their November migration.
