Fall colors in northern Utah mountains may peak in the next two weeks
SALT LAKE CITY — The fall colors are starting to appear in Utah’s canyons, and meteorologists, along with foliage predictors, said the next two weeks will be peak viewing time in Utah’s northern mountains.
“They’re just starting to catch fire,” said Dane Rigby, a local artist who was in Provo Canyon Tuesday painting the falls. “It seems like it’s green for a long time. Then it just explodes and into the color,” he said.
“The colors up here are really beautiful. The reds and the oranges mixed in with the green and just dazzling,” Rigby said.
That means areas like Provo Canyon, American Fork Canyon, and north through Salt Lake and Davis County could see peaks in brightness within the next two weeks.
“You have to watch it carefully,” Rigby advised. “Sometimes it surprises you, Sometimes you know you’re right on. But you just have to kind of watch it like the weather, and see when it’s starting to heat up and when it’s starting to fade off.”
