National Parks of the US Southwest
What is the best season for nature photography in the US national parks of
southern Utah and northern Arizona? I've already missed most of the dreadful hot weather, so I was hoping for blue skies and red rocks. ---Bob Gross--- |

Now is a good time for fall colors.

Whenever you are there. Each season has its charm. My personal
preference is now until mid-november for most of the parks in Utah. Robertwgross wrote: What is the best season for nature photography in the US national parks of southern Utah and northern Arizona?

For that part of the country, you can expect the aspen to be in good color
around Oct 1 at high elevations, above 7000 ft, and around Nov 1 at low elevations, like 2500 feet (with year-to-year variations, of course). The weather should be no problem in the fall, and the rocks are red all year round. Winter snows can be a logistical problem, but make for high quality scenery. In spring you'll have the flowers, of course, and the rivers and waterfalls will be their fullest. Ya' puts yer nikkel in and takes yer chances. Truth is, any time of year will offer you more than enough opportunities - I recommend you check out the park web sites for climate data and make your decisions based on your own comfort preferences. Or on the fact that by avoiding summer you'll have lower room rates and far, far fewer tourists to contend with. "Robertwgross" wrote in message ...
