Color Report: Reports are coming in that the leaves in the High Mountain/Dry Lakes area are going to peak this week. Also the leaves around Brian Head Town have dropped leaves off about 50% of the trees but there is still remaining color. The drive through the high elevation is still quite pretty. There is more snow and freezing temperatures forecasted this week so the little color that is left may not last long.
