Fall Colors and Sandstone Rock Formations Collide at Zion Country

An aerial view of Cottonwood trees nearing peak color against the red rock formations just outside Zion National Park, Utah.

Cottonwoods At Peak

Cottonwood Trees thrive near rivers and lakes because they absorb lots of water. If we have normal rainfall that year, we’ll see lots ofCottonwoods in full color during autumn . Here I captured the colors via drone. Watch in HiDef at Full Screen. Music is aptly named “Fly Me Away” by Goldfrapp.

 

Cottonwoods In Color

It seems like it’s later every year, but the Cottonwood trees near Zion NP are at peak color this week. These images were captured via drone.
