Favorite Spots For Fall Colors

Fall colors are starting to pop in Utah’s canyons – the next couple weeks will provide great viewing opportunities in northern Utah. For many spots in southern Utah, colors will get started in earnest in a couple weeks.

Many of our scenic byways run through forests where fall colors are spectacular. In particular, I recommend these:

• Nebo Loop
• Alpine Loop
• Logan Canyon
• Mirror Lake Highway
• Highway 12
  

Some of our hiking trails provide great opportunity to view fall colors. The Salt Lake Tribune offers a blog on hiking Utah, and it will track colors. In this post, the blogger named some of his favorite fall spots, which included these:

• Sardine Canyon
• Albion Basin
• Guardsman Pass
• Mill D and Doughnut Falls trails
• Alpine Loop (American Fork-Provo canyons)
• Wasatch Mountain State Park
• Millcreek Canyon
• Capitol Reef
