This waterfall I don't see very often, it is up Provo Canyon from the overflow when you first drive up the canyon.

I was a little stressed at work this morning, so for lunch I drove up Provo Canyon and went to the gate at the Rock Canyon Campground. What I saw blew me away. What you see won't. Sorry for the quality. This was from my Blackberry. It certainly doesn't do the colors justice. I'd say the colors are peaking about now. Get your fall shots while you can!

Thanks. I wish I would have had a real camera with me. I saw one lady taking photos at the overlook into Rock Canyon. She said she had taken the day off to shoot some photos and enjoy a beautiful fall day. I was jealous. She said she was on the Alpine Loop yesterday and that it was "amazing". I swear, weather wise, we are a month behind this year. Seriously, the colors were amazing!

Nuts! I hope this doesn't detract from my non photo excellence.

I agree with you about the timing. It has kind of blown my mind how long this fall has gone on because it is weeks behind last year.

Seriously, the colors were amazing!

Interesting. So could you tell if the reds higher up from the campground and near this meadow and against the wall on the right of this photo were also at peak or was it just lower down?

What was crazy was that I thought the colors were generally better on the other side of the ridge, meaning the Rock CAnyon side not the Provo Canyon side. It may have been the cool lighting when the clouds broke and everything was still wet with rain drops from the past evenings' rain storm. To answer the question, I think the mid level stuff was the best. The high stuff looked like it peaked a few days ago (pre storm) and the low stuff was just about to peak color, still quite a bit of green. Where I took the photo was at the turn off to the campground. Both photos were taken just a few hundred feet past the gate (that is now closed) to the entrance to the campground not from the campground which is below this spot.

I'm not really participating in the contest, but here's a cell phone shot I got tonight.

[tmartenst]

Thanks Scott. I was thinking about heading down there from SLC but the Wasatch Front has some amazing reds right now too.

[tmartenst]

Do you get any points for number of photos taken this year!? . Unemployment has done wonders for my photography excursions.

Taken tonight 10.18.11in Big Cottonwood Canyon.
