Leaf updates 2009
As promised! Click the links or thumbnail images for complete update and more photos. Be sure to read the accompanying article at In This Week!
(Out-of-staters: I’m posting these here because it’s really hard to find online Utah leaf updates that are specific about location and date. I hope you can still enjoy/envy the pretty trees).
Oct. 2: Lake Blanche trail
Big Cottonwood Canyon between storms this weekend. It probably looks very different now!
Some nice-looking maple on the way back down the trail.
Sept. 29: Millcreek Canyon
Nice bike ride. Except it's all uphill. I don't do that. And I don't have a bike.
Sept. 28: Solitude
Back up Big Cottonwood Canyon for a hike around Silver Lake, Twin Lakes and Lake Solitude.
Across from Jordan Pines
Sept. 26: Cascade Springs
A return to the springs two weeks later. It’s fun to compare.
Green, yellow, orange and red at lower Cascade Springs.
Sept. 26: Alpine Loop
A drive and short hike, American Fork Canyon to Horse Flat.
Southbound, up Alpine Loop Road.
Sept. 25: Guardsman Pass – Midway
A drive past Wasatch Mountain State Park.
Into the color!
Sept. 25: Big Cottonwood Canyon – Guardsman Pass
A fall drive and hike at Brighton.
Gold aspens at Guardsman Pass
Sept. 24: Catherine Pass
Hiking in Albion Basin, Little Cottonwood Canyon.
Fiery mountain ash up close
Sept. 19: The Cottonwoods
Little and Big Cottonwood canyons up to Albion Basin and Guardsman Pass.
A brushy patch of fall color just above Solitude.
Sept. 13: Cascade Spring
Near the Alpine Loop, between American Fork and Provo canyons.
Up close, it starts to feel like fall.

Thanks a lot! My sister in law is in town for the weekend and we wanted to get pics of our family in the fall colors. Pressed for time didn’t have a chance to scout lots of places, your pics helped a ton. Thank you again
