Sedona Fall Color – Cave Springs Wash
Cave Springs Wash is near the Cave Springs Campground just a few miles north of the West Fork Trail. It is my favorite place to photograph Maple Trees of all colors! Following are my favorite images from this trip:
Maples are on both sides of Highway 89a and require just a little bit of hiking. (smartphone)
This is the largest Maple Tree I’ve seen in Oak Creek Canyon. Note all the baby Maples in the background which are springing up after a devastating fire some years ago. (panorama using Fuji X E-1)
It’s difficult to find unblemished Maple Leaves. I think it must be our warm fall that gives bugs and fungus a chance to get to them. (smartphone)
More Maples in Motion. Sorry…can’t help myself. (Fuji X E-1)
Glowing Maple Leaves! Sometimes you get just the right light. (Canon N)
Maples and Magic Light. (smartphone)
Maple Leaf littering the Forest Floor (smartphone)
Maple leaves are just as beautiful on the forest floor as on the trees, don’t you think?! (smartphone)
Milkweed Seedpods – A bonus photo op! (Fuji X E-1)
Forest Faces. Everyone sees something different. I the Squid from Sponge Bob Square Pants. (smartphone)

Your work is stunning…I had a blast sharing the scenery with you!
Thanks very much, Pamela! I look forward to shooting with you again 🙂
I am SO envious! You guys have the most amazing trees which turn fabulous colours. Also the forest floor all littered with that textured wood and rocks. Just amazing. Your photos are a real treat!
Love the previous ones too and your campsite in the glass ball is fantastic. Plus I see a croc where you see a snake. I can’t believe I’m googling Sponge Bob Square Pants to see what the squid looks like….. lol. Enjoying all your pictures so far. You must have had the most wonderful summer/fall and you must be super fit with all this hiking!
