Fall Comes to Zion National Park


Photographing Autumn Colors at Zion National Park

One of my favorite places for photographing autumn colors is Zion National Park, Utah. During the fall season, the trees growing along Zion's incredible canyons are accented with brilliant analogous colors of red, yellow and orange. On this blog entry, I would like to take you on a photo tour of Zion’s beautiful fall scenery.

On a clear day, the deep blue sky provides the perfect backdrop for showcasing the magnificent towers that include the Court of the Patriarchs. The Virgin River flows in the foreground with trees along its shore adorned in fall colors.


At the stream under Weeping Rock, branches of Velvet ash and Fremont Cottonwood create a colorful and serene retreat.


Maple trees of red and gold accent the picnic area with their branches forming an inviting arch to stop under and enjoy the scenery.


In the early fall morning, the rising sun illuminates the Virgin River and accents the trees growing on its bank.


At sundown, golden cottonwoods become muted against the crimson sculptured cliffs of Navajo Sandstone at the park’s entrance.


As the day gives way to night, my camera catches the last light, turning Watchman’s Mountain an even deeper shade of red.

Photography places me in the moment where I can share that moment in time. It becomes a life story as represented by my interaction with the scene. The happiness and beauty or the sorrow and strife; how I focus leaves a lasting impression that might touch the viewer on a spiritual level.
