Natural History Wanderings

Calphoto has a new fall color report for Zion National Park

Zion over the weekend. The scenic drive is near peak or at peak but with this warm weather it should last a week or two more. All the cottonwoods are around 50-75% peak at the Campground, The Towers of the Virgin and Zion Lodge & Temple of Sinawava and along the river. It’s just at peak along the River Walk but it should be good for another week. Maple trees along the Emerald Pool trail has passed peak but still good. It’s the most beautiful right now from the Grotto to the Big Bend. The Weeping Rock trail is also at peak.
