Mixed weather on Scorpion Mt

My friend Adam and I went for a short hike up to Scorpion Mt. The route is 8 miles round trip with about 1800' elevation gain.
The forecast was for rain below 4000' and snow above. Our trailhead sits at 4100' which put us where I wanted to be, above the rain!! The views were abundant even at the trailhead.

We were lucky enough to be in a hole in the weather and enjoy a few sun breaks!

As we neared the summit the land opened up and the colors of fall became more apparent.

We finally reached the windy and cold summit and we had fun taking in the disappearing views as the clouds rolled in and snow started falling.
