Fall Color 2015
Fall color in Utah has been a big disappointment this year. I noticed the leaves on the aspens were falling off without changing color as early as late August. Unfortunately, the trend has continued and now there are entire groves of aspens without leaves. I expect this is due to the exceptionally mild winter we had. At least the scrub oaks and maples are getting a little colorful. Here's a spot I scouted while mountain biking in American Fork Canyon. This is the most color I've seen in the entire area! On the plus side, I got to see a nice bull elk right before I took this shot.
