September 19, 2014 -- Took a personal day and headed out with my hiking buddy to see the salmon run out of Causey Reservoir. I've wanted to catch a glimpse of this phenomenon for a couple of years but just haven't been able to time it right.
We headed out on the Skull Crack Trail which is a relatively easy 2.6 mile (5.2 total) out to the south east fork of the reservoir.
The autumn leaves were just starting to change and I could see the aspen's on some of the slopes still green.
The salmon were an amazing red and incredible to watch swim up the small river feeding into the reservoir.
As we were getting ready to leave we ran into a trail runner with his dog. He mentioned he was here last week and there where twice as many salmon. It's hard to know exactly the best time to see the spawning but we were pretty satisfied with our little adventure this fall.
