The trees have been extraordinary this year. 

 

Maple Cathedral

 Maple Grove, along the Indian Mound Trail, is unusually beautiful this year.  This is looking North from the Trail toward Gladstone Blvd.   

The "easiest" way to get to the Grove is go straight down the bluff from Hardest and Gladstone Blvd.  Not real difficult, just steep.  Above, what you see about 1/3 of the way down. 

Above and below you can see the Trail.  It's not difficult, you just need good footwear. 

Lay on your back to get the full effect. 

Fall With Sprinkles

I was waiting for the rain to stop, finally just went out anyway.

Waning Days Of Fall On Cliff Drive

 The waterfall (Carl DiCapo Fountain ) is off for the winter now and most of the leaves are gone.

Forest Hill

 Forest Hill Cemetery is located at 71st and Troost.  Established in 1888, the land is notable for the location of another Civil War Battle Field as the Confederate troops fled south from Westport.

                                              Hyperblogal has family here in several locations.

 Many famous Kansas City residents  are buried here including Satchel Paige, below.
