Autumn in Lake Clark, Alaska

Autumn is a fairly short season for Lake Clark - around 5 weeks.

The leaves start fading from their brilliant, rich green about the first week or two of September and they're usually pretty much gone by mid-October. The temperatures are wonderful, and the views are colorful as passing clouds dump white snow on yellow mountains and then slowly cover up the slopes...
 Then a warm jet stream will hover overhead and in a few hours the mountain is almost bare again.
Then quick as you can get a good nights rest it's covered right back up, plus a little extra.
The Lake Clark area has a lot of birch trees and their leaves turn a bright yellow that absolutely glows in the sun, especially towards evening when the warm light lingers and the shadows are long.
This is a spectacular time of year!

You might want to add a 'Port Alsworth Fall Visit' to your bucket list.
