From: Deidra Walpole / Bruce Wright Subject: [OUTDOORS] fall colors Date: 01 Oct 1998 22:54:56 -0700 My wife and I are going to be taking a quick getaway from LA to Zion to Escalante, Calf Creek, Burr Trail to Capitol Reef, over to Torrey, back up and down Route 12 to Boulder and then back to LA. My question: Are there any fall colors yet? Are the aspen turning on Boulder Mountain? Are the cottonwoods turning? - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: blager@es.com Subject: RE: [OUTDOORS] fall colors Date: 02 Oct 1998 06:35:27 -0600 I spent two days in Zion's and a day in Bryce last week. I would say that Zion area is just beginning to change, but that means there is very little fall color there yet. Bryce area is at 7900 ft, and I remember noticing some yellowing aspen in that area. I don't think it was very far along yet...? Further north, in Utah county, the mountains are getting colorful, but not the valley. I did not get to Boulder Mountain, but I suspect that colors are changing at that altitude. Hope this helps... Enjoy your trip!

After the morning rain cleared up, the sun came out a little, and the colors were vibrant. I'm sure they were even better before the rain. Next week is probably the best time to view the colors, then they'll be gone in the high places. There were many dark reds and oranges, and the whole family oooh'd and ahhhh'd the whole trip. Just beautiful.

Some aspen were beginning to change, but on the south side of the mountain virtually all were still green. The cottonwoods had just barely started as well. Farther north closer to SLC the leaves were further along.
