When Philip Reedy alerted me that he planned to visit the Hope Valley on Monday to avoid the crowds, I didn’t understand just how far he’d go.

Most of those who visit the valley along CA-88, south of Lake Tahoe, are pretty much terrestrial. Phil left the highway and hiked uphill, providing fresh perspectives on fall color from the heavens.
