Fall has come to the Wasatch Mountains of Utah. Just a short distance from our home, there is a road up to the Rock Canyon Campground. This road is only partially paved and climbs almost 3000 feet up into the mountains just east of our home which is at almost exactly 5000 feet up the side of the mountains. We live about 500 feet above the floor of the valley. The timing of the change in the color of the leaves depends on their elevation. That 3000 extra feet make a lot of difference. Very few of the trees around our home have even begun to change.
