As I mentioned in yesterday's post, when I arrived at Alpine Loop on Wednesday it was still too dark, so I took the side trip that I posted yesterday. I then returned to the loop, which is UT 92 going from I-15 to US 189 via the Uinta-Wasatch National Forest around Mt. Timpanagos. In that the end of the loop goes past Sundance and enters US 189 on the Provo River just below Bridal Veil falls it gives you many different photo ops.

These shots show that the full fall changes are not here, but the beginnings are evident. The Alpine Loop is popular because the variations in elevation show some trees, such as aspen, in varying fall dress. This season was very dry, so our reds are generally pale, but the yellow is coming on strong.

As always, downloads are the best.

Very nice Mike. I especially like the way in #3 that the mountain road inclines and curves to bring you into the shot. The sun sparkle is perfect for it.

Very nice shots Mike, I love the fall colors but it is also sad to see that all the flowers are gone and nature is preparing in a spectacular way for the annual die-off. Joe

Thanks, Joe. But for my neighbor's and my wife's efforts, I would be out of flower shots.
