Aspens turning near Cedar City, Utah, their trunks cutting a zigzag through the fall color

Cedar City, Utah

Zigzag

Peak aspen colour on a circuitous ranch road high in the mountains of southern Utah — about the best way I know to spend an autumn day. I love the zig-zag fence and the cattle-manicured field of aspens receding into the distance.

In my experience, red-leafed aspens are a rarity — they’re almost always gold, so I always consider it lucky when I find a patch. A few miles down the road we happened to be in the right place at the right time to help a rancher round up a stray cow that was going for an evening jog up the road. Lucky!
