Fall Leaves in Big Cottonwood Canyon Utah September 27 2008

We love taking leisurely drives up Big Cottonwood Canyon in Salt Lake City Utah. Starting from the mouth for the canyon you instantly begin seeing brilliant red leaves of trees spread out amongst the side of the canyon.

The most brilliant trees can be found at the top of the mountains next to the Ski Resorts; Solitude and Brighton. They are also easily found next to Silver Lake.

The colors are out and this is truly the best Fall Foliage show over the last 10 years.

If you are around the Salt Lake City area for the next 2-3 weeks you will want to add this

drive to your list of things to do.
Their are still many patches of areas that haven't even started turning which means the next few weeks each day in the mountains is as glorious as the day before
.

This first picture was actually extremely hard to get to. We had to scale the side of the mountain that was virtually straight down. Thankfully the rocks sticking out of the mountains were solidly embedded in the mountain and gave perfect footage for part of the way down. It was a grove of extremely brilliant trees.

These next two pictures were taken at Brighton Ski Resort and at the top of Guardsman Pass and were easily accessible to (sides of the road).

I really hope you enjoy the pictures and I have so many I will keep posting them for everyone to take advantage of!
