Album Fall Colors 2014

[Nick]

Post your Fall Colors 2014 pics here. Be sure to mention where and when you took your shots.

The leaves seem to be popping early this year. I noticed a bunch of red and yellow last weekend around Park City and then this weekend there was some color to be had in the Uintas.

This was taken on the Murdock Basin Road this morning, somewhere around 9500' ASL. There were some other nice aspen groves that were lighting up nearby.

saw quite a few yellow leaves along Kanarra Creek today. I guess because of the drought down south it will start very early.

Just outside of Kamas from this past Saturday, coming home from Naturalist Basin.

Bring it on. Looks to be a better year than last, though that won't be hard to beat.

Has anyone been up in the alpine loop? Wonder if its time to tour the area yet.

 

[andyjaggy]

I did about a week ago. There was some okay color, I still wasn't seeing anything real great though.

I wonder about the alpine loop too. It's been a little colder already. Maybe the colors and on FIRE!

The Aspen's in AF canyon don't usually change until late September or early October. The reds in previous years have peeked around mid to late September. I need to get up there and check it out.

I did the loop 2 days ago, and there is some color, but not much.
Here is Aspen Grove, right after a major hail storm hit.


And next to Mutual Dell

We had a freak 3 day storm that has knocked down a ton of trees around us - so I am hoping to be able to join in soon... But who knows..

Drove up to Silver Lake Flat in American Fork canyon. Most of the colors are there, especially in higher altitude. I think a week from now it should really be at its peak. I plan to go back in a week and do the alpine loop drive.

This totally made my day!! I'm flying over from NJ next week. It'll be my first time hiking in the Wasatch mountains and I was really hoping I got the timing right for Fall foliage.

The reds up American Fork canyon are on there way out. I thought the reds have been a bit disappointing this year, better than last year, but nowhere near as good as the year before. The aspens are starting now, and they usually seem to be a lot more consistent with their color.

Got out to the Rockies this weekend, anyone travelling in Alberta the Aspen and other trees are nearing peak from Lake Louise north along HWY 93, and the shurbs and bushes/grasses in that area are at or past peak already. Things went quick since the snow it seems. I have a picture from Bow Lake at home that I will post later to demonstrate .

Bow lake and Crowfoot Mountain. As mentioned grass and shrub colour has really gone off and trees are close behind right now.
