Fall at Steeprock River October 29, 2017 in Hiking, Porcupine Hills Photo Series by Andy Goodson Steeprock River, Manitoba In September 2017, Sean and I were lucky enough to spend a couple nights in Manitoba's Porcupine Hills. The weather was perfect, allowing us to get in a full-day exploratory hike where we found marine fossils, a rut site and plenty of fall scenery.

I couldn't describe why it seemed odd until I noticed how the trunk and branches appeared superimposed on top of its leaves.
