Autumn has decided to stick around a bit this year in Southern Utah. Two weeks ago these maple trees in Zion were mostly green. In years past, the colors would have been at peak. But patience and another trip up Zion Canyon enabled me to get these shots.
Fall colors have arrived along Riverside Walk at Zion National Park, Utah
Due to copious amounts of rain this summer, autumn colors will be arriving later than usual in Colorado. Mostly in October I reckon. When I was there in mid-September, there were small pockets of color but few and far between. I may try a quick trip back in a week or two.
Aspen trees start to show their colors in early autumn in the mountains of Colorado
Aspen trees with not so much color. This was the predominate look throughout Colorado.

Made my way up Zion Canyon on Friday hoping for peak fall colors. I was not disappointed. Cottonwoods, Big-tooth Maples and Scrub Oaks provided most of the color.
Kolob Terrace is an area in and around Zion National Park but at a higher elevation than the popular part of the park. It’s a great escape from the maddening crowds and shuttle buses of Zion Canyon. And Autumn arrives early and with a bang! This is the first post of three…….
By using in-camera techniques, I was able to produce some artsy images of aspen trees in peak color. See previous post from Fall Colors At Kaibab National Forest
