Anybody been to the valley of Zion National Park recently, or know of any websites to find out about autumn color?

Here's a link that has some reports and photos: http://www.scenicsouthernutah.com/fallcolor_report.shtml

Seems that the Kolob Canyons section of Zion is at peak (maybe a little past peak) right now.

Zion Canyon doesn't usually peak until the first week or so of Nov.

I may not be able to go to Subway and narrows until Nov 3. If anyone hears about the color there soon please let me know

Give the Park a call. The rangers are very good at relaying this info to visitors

Just passing on this report from a photographer, yesterday - Oct 22.

In the valley: "..most of the trees are still green with maybe 20-30% yellow or turning yellow. No brown leaves... And it is cold at night..."

Please note, the higher elevations are probably significantly further along.
