This is from the Alpine Loop this morning. The oaks are mostly gone, but he aspen are great this year. I see a lot of areas that were bare last year now have some good color. Still another week or so left I think.

Wow - those are some of the more intense colors I have seen for that area in quite a while. I like the wider view in the first image with the colorful scrub vegetation on the slopes of the mountains.

Wow Ben, that's a stupendous set! Just traveled through UT myself the last 2 weeks, and did see some good trees coming through on Highway 12 through Boulder, but I was in a hurry to get from Capitol Reef to Bryce, and so did not have a lot of time to stop and try to shoot anything. I am pretty sure I did not get anything as nice as these in any case!

Thanks Alan, I was very pleased to see that the SAD trees from last year made some comeback, Still a few dead trees, but not entire patches like last year.
Hwy 12 is a great scenic road, and I suspect those aspen at the 10,000 foot level are pretty nice. I have never driven that road in fall.

I really like the natural look to these Ben.
Thanks Darcy
We got snow at the higher elevations last night, I wish I could get back up there this morning, but family obligations prevent it.
