PERFECT Fall Colors while Hiking at Sakatah Lake State Park |
About
Premiered Mar 4, 2021 Being a video of a day hiking trip I made on a windy day in the middle of October during the peak fall color season at Sakatah Lake State Park in Minnesota. The yellow fall colors were incredible! This was a relaxing day and I'm sure you will find this a very relaxing video too. The authentic sounds of the wind blowing thru the trees and the crunching of footsteps on the fallen leaves will have you wishing you were there. And now thru the magic of YouTube you can be!
