I was feeling like running away and doing something wild, and also I was tired of waiting for other people to be free to enjoy the autumn foliage with me, so I took myself out to Mono Cliffs.
I, uh...ended up getting a little lost on the trails? And then my phone (with the picture of the map trails on it) died and I was absolutely freezing...and I had also not told anyone except an online friend where I was going. (Do not be like me, this was dangerous).
So I marched along hoping to end up, at some point, somewhere near the parking lot. I passed some other hikers, including another female Muslim solo hiker (!) and sang aloud to keep myself motivated and not panicked.

Honestly I was very unprepared for this hike. But! Nothing bad ended up happening, alhamdulillah. The weather was wild though; within the span of three hours I experienced hail, snow, rain, and sun! The foliage absolutely popped off though, check out the slideshow below.
I also spotted some cool fungi!
But the following are my favourite shots of the day! The texture? The colours? The patterns? Absolutely incredibly stunning, subhanAllah.
(told you i'd be back soon!)
