The Best Colors in the West

Posted on | November 16, 2005 | No Comments

With all apologies to John Muir, the best colors in the West lie in Canyon Country. This past weekend (11/12 – 11/13/05) in Zion National Park and in the surrounding area I witnessed the most amazing display of fall foliage I’ve seen in my life. The Eastern Sierra is bigger and has more trees, but as for variety of color and sheer beauty it doesn’t come close to Zion’s fall season. Throw in the red rock walls and we’ve got the Garden of Eden. The Mormons were a smart bunch for sure…

At this time of year, the Zion Canyon seems to be in mostly shade which is perfect light for shooting foliage. The light allowed me to try my best Elliott Porter impersonation as my images would attest.
