ROBERT DeBERRY/Frontiersman Sightseers pause along a ridge line to photograph the valley below Monday afternoon. The fall colors are at a peak along the drive from Palmer to Willow by way of Willow-Fishhook Road. The 49 mile gravel road travels through the Willow Creek Mining District as it winds Talkeetna Mountains from it's highest elevation at Summit lake to it's connection with the Parks Highway near Willow.
